Let Loose

When nature calls...

Press

Starting things as they mean to go on, Anthony bears witness to uptight fiancee Kate "following through" during a moment of intimacy, while Lulu finds herself grappling with an ill-thought-out denim onesie in order to relieve herself mid-interview for her place at the hospital guardianship. It's a theme of sorts. Later, Kate bonds with artist Melody while sitting as a life model, and is soon - thanks to wine and some tubes of acrylic - letting loose her inhibitions, leading to much merriment but also some unexpected truths.

Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 1st February 2016
