| | OFFOFFOFF film review YOUNG ADAM Scottish movie by David Mackenzie with Ewan McGregor, Tilda Swinton, Peter Mullan, ... |
 | | Ella Gault (Swinton), barge owner, beleaguered wife, and mother of one, peels potatoes, darns socks, and swabs the decks as she and her husband Les (Mullan) trawl the canals and locks between Edinburgh and Glasgow, hauling coal and other fossil fuels. |
 | | From the looks he's giving Ella and she him often over dinner in the Captain's dimly lit and wafer-thin hold as Les sups his tea, son Jim (Jack McElhone) eats his chips, and Joe starts caressing Ella's thigh it won't be long before they're savoring one of those p.c. |
 | | In time "Young Adam" gets a bit silly Joe can barely look at another woman without whipping out that willie of his but the journey there is, it turns out, something you can touch with a ten-foot pole. |
