Obey (2018)
In the restive east of London, there is a different drama about the life of a young man torn apart. The young man's shattered life began during the period of social unrest in the East London real estate, where a young man loved a girl elsewhere. Perhaps the difference of place will be difficult and puzzling under strange circumstances.

While sometimes slow, Obey provokes thought and stays compelling thanks to Marcus Rutherford's quiet magnetism.September 29, 2018
