Concrete Plans (15)
Directed by Will Jewell
★★★
THIS intriguing thriller is set in a ramshackle manor house in the remote Welsh mountains, which becomes the hotbed of social unrest, bigotry, xenophobia and class warfare.
Writer-director Will Jewell’s debut feature centres on five builders who are hired by young and entitled landowner Simon (Kevin Guthrie) to renovate the sprawling old building.
