Lotterywest Festival Films :: Grow Your Own
Director: Richard Laxton · 100min · PG
This gentle comedy centres on a bunch of grumpy old men who get very tetchy when a family of asylum seekers are allocated a plot of land to grow vegetables alongside their precious allotments.
Funny and moving, this British charmer features a very unsexy list of ingredients – gardening, immigration and telephone masts – but the plots are linked by such a fascinating and quirky cast of characters that it’s impossible not to care about every one of them.

SPIRIT of INDIACharming and genuinely funny and moving … subtle in places, laugh-out-loud in others, but always well-paced
IMDB
Small-scale charms celebrate British film – especially the traditions of ensemble Ealing comedies and Bill Forsyth (Gregory’s Girl/Local Hero) – and modern Britain itself
Channel 4
This is a delightful and quintessentially British film, with the sort of quirkiness you get in movies like Sixty Six and Wondrous Oblivion. The interaction in the film between the conservatism of the English working man taking traditional refuge from the cares of life and family in his allotment and the ethnically mixed newcomers is stimulating and fun
