Just watched by Richard Ayoade.

Very well made, art-directed within an inch of its life and full of character. Its really exciting to see a director early in their career that has so much vision and confidence. Its billed as a comedy but the comedy is bleak, very British, and there a few non-sequitur moments that add to the dense atmosphere.
It touches on a lot of themes that I suspect may resonate at least in part with others in the c-t demographic - the sometimes lonely life of a person who's young, but not that young, living in a faceless city, doing a job they didn't dream of, etc.
There was obviously a lot of meditation on confidence, self-presentation, the relative importance of inner/outer appearances there too, which was great to mull over whilst deciding if I'll be more impressive to women if I buy some new trainers
