One of My Biggest Favorites

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2015)

I don't have any criticisms of this film. I like the story, the acting, the music, and the filmmaking. It's fun, humorous, sad, and exciting. I like the book, but I like how the movie was able to distill it into a linear narrative (it's still a bit episodic, but they did a great job). The casting is a miracle--every one of the principles went from complete unknowns to big projects. I especially like the dialog full of slang and regional quirks. I have sought out everything by the Irvine Welsh, and enjoyed all his books. This is exactly my sense of humor. I appreciate how they take things to the extreme. The visuals do get a little gross once or twice, but it is well utilized. Nearly Perfect.
