About This Movie

Like It Is is quite an interesting piece. Paul Oremland's direction captures the gritty underbelly of London with a raw energy that really complements the story. You have Craig, this bare-knuckle boxer from Blackpool, trying to navigate not just a new city, but also the complicated world of relationships. The dynamic between Craig and Matt is fascinating - Matt's lifestyle is flashy and a bit overwhelming for the shy Craig. The pacing feels just right, really allowing you to sit with those moments of awkwardness and tension. The performances are genuine - you can feel the authenticity in their struggles. And that tension with Matt's boss adds a layer of drama that keeps it engaging. It's not your typical romance, that's for sure.
