Tomo is a teen escaping a bad home life and a refugee of sorts, writes Rob Mackie
  
  


After the intensity of Shane Meadows' last two features, Dead Man's Shoes and This Is England, this feels like a small holiday project. Tomo (Thomas Turgoose) is a teen escaping a bad home life and a refugee of sorts; he meets a genuine one in Polish teen Marek (Piotr Jagiello), left to his own devices while his father works on the St Pancras redevelopment (Eurostar was the main financier). The result is a freewheeling Jules et Jim for adolescents.
