A complex father/son relationship is viewed through a brutal depiction of prison life in Starred Up, one of the most powerful and assured films of David Mackenzie’s career. Jack O’Connell gives an extraordinary performance as Eric, a young offender so aggressive and unpredictable that he is prematurely moved to an adult prison. His fellow inmates include the father he hasn’t seen since he was five. An increasingly tense situation ensues in which Eric fights to be true to himself.
