Issues of assimilation and acceptance are raised but feebly scripted in Menhaj Huda's coming-of-age story. James Floyd plays good-looking 20-year-old Ash, caught between his traditional upbringing in suburban London (he still lives at home) and his ambition to cut the mustard as a DJ.

The dramatic hook is an unresolved antagonism with his bullying shopkeeper father, but nothing much else comes compellingly to life: his friendships are sketched with a perfunctory casualness, and his yearning to break free carries no deep conviction.
