NEDS
Synopsis

Our take
Scottish actor-turned-director Peter Mullan (My Name Is Joe) takes a raw and sensitive look at teen delinquency in 70s Glasgow in his award-winning third feature. Neds won two Scottish BAFTAs for Best Direction and Screenplay, and features bold, brilliant performances headed by Conor McCarron.
