Harris Dickinson, the east Londoner tipped to play the next James Bond, is geometrically perfect, yet he doesn’t coast on his pretty face. Full of surprises in Beach Rats, County Lines and Triangle of Sadness (in which he did play a model), the 27 year-old actor is just as confounding in this poignant, Sundance prize-winning comedy, in which he stars as a “weird” Jack the lad. If you appreciate no-frills finesse, you’ll be floored.
Jason (Dickinson) has a 12-year-old daughter, Georgie (luminous newcomer Lola Campbell), who’s been fending for herself by nicking and recycling bikes ever since the death of her single mum, Vicky (Olivia Brady). Then Jason shows up at the council estate flat Georgie shared with her mother, saying he wants to make up for lost time.
