So, 'Wanting and Getting' takes you to Gorbals in Glasgow, where the mundane meets the profound. It’s one of those films that really digs into the lives of ordinary people, while this little caterpillar just happens to be crossing the road at the same time, symbolizing vulnerability, you know? The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, as the four intersecting stories unfold. It’s got this raw, gritty atmosphere typical of 90s UK cinema, and the performances, while not flashy, feel grounded and real. There’s something about the practical effects too; it's all very understated, which adds to the authenticity. It’s not flashy or overdone, just a piece that lingers with you in a subtle way.
