Greenkeeping

A meandering, very low-key comedy in which Little, greenkeeper at the local bowls club, finds it hard to cope with a dope-dependent wife and her unpaid dealers, with a born-again moneylender brother, with racists and temptresses in the club, and with his own complete ignorance on matters horticultural. The script is often droll in its observation of the mind-numbing banalities of mate-culture, though there are times when it seems unfocused and all too ready to rest on sub-Jane Campion eccentricity. Slim, then, but finally rather likeable.
