Ragged

About This Movie

So, 'Ragged' is a gripping drama that really gets into the grit of the human spirit, especially how Ricky Tomilinson stands his ground in a bleak prison setting. The pacing can feel uneven at times, reflecting the chaos of the era, which I think adds to its raw authenticity. The themes of resistance and identity are central, and you really feel the weight of his hunger strike, it's almost visceral. The performances, particularly from the lead, are quite intense and make the emotional turmoil palpable. There's a certain atmosphere that permeates the film; it’s both heavy and oddly reflective, capturing that period in Britain with a kind of stark realism that sticks with you. Not your everyday prison flick, that's for sure.
