Red Road (film)

Red Road is a 2006 psychological thriller[3] film directed by Andrea Arnold and starring Kate Dickie, Tony Curran, Martin Compston, and Natalie Press.

It is named after, and partly set at, the Red Road Flats in Balornock, Glasgow, Scotland, which were the tallest residential buildings in Europe at the time they were built.

She follows Clyde to a cafe, and later learns he is throwing a party at the apartment he shares with a fellow ex-con by the name of Stevie.

The cunnilingus scene between Tony Curran and Kate Dickie is so convincing that many critics believed it to be real, such as Stephen Dalton in his article "Sealed With A Glasgow Kiss".

The simulation was achieved simply through placing half a pear between Dickie's legs, which Curran licked and sucked, and angling the camera so as not to reveal the machinations of the mimicry.

[7] On review-aggregating website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of 87% based on 90 reviews, for an average rating of 7.2/10, the critical consensus stating: "Red Road director Andrea Arnold skillfully parses out just enough plot details at a time to keep the audience engrossed in this seductive thriller.
