In a drama about East London's most turbulent east, where a handsome young man fell in love with a girl. The relationship seems to have been shattered during a series of unrest in London, where the young man's life began to take another turn when he found himself torn and fragmented during social unrest and circumstances that looked different from the past.
While he doesn't quite tackle a new subject for a first-time British film-maker, Jamie Jones delivers something different and for the most part absorbing in Obey, a drama set during the East London riots of 2011.
Writer/director Jamie Jones sets the story, location, urban scenes and tense relationships in a boiling pot brimming over with illicit drug use, binge drinking, petty crime and the wildness of youth.
It's an ambitious first film, with a lot to admire, but there is also the nagging feeling that despite wanting to present another perspective, Obey is sometimes guilty of trotting out clichés... That aside, it's a valiant debut.
