Love Me Till Monday review – wildly uneven Britcom

This British low-budget comedy about a woman suffering a quarter-life crisis doesn't know if it's drama or a sitcom, writes Peter Bradshaw

There are some nice moments in this hit-and-miss, low-budget British comedy. Georgia Maguire plays Becky, a 25-year-old with a quarterlife crisis: she's single, living with her parents, and stuck in a boring office job, from which she could be fired at any moment. While her mum's away on holiday, Becky feels weirdly vulnerable; she gets involved in a tricky romantic situation with her boss (Tim Plester) and also is interested in a co-worker (Royce Pierreson), who's got his eye on her. Georgia's encounters with her boss have an interesting real-world dimension and their relationship is rather convincing in its contrived way. But the film is desperately unsure if it is a naturalist drama or a sitcommy romp, with wildly uneven performing styles.
