teenage kicks

I went to see the premiere of the final Digital Departures film at FACT last night.
The storyline of Kicks centres around two teenage girls - Nicole and Jasmine - who bond over their love for (fictitious) Liverpool player Lee Cassidy, but when they get obsessive things turn decidedly messy.
And I tell you something, if I was a Premiership player, Kicks would scare the **** out of me!

Kerrie Hayes plays the weirdly intense loner Nicole.
I last met Kerrie, who also starred in Lilies, at the Scouseology awards a couple of years ago and she is a lovely, sweet girl.
Last night she clambered apologetically along our row to sit next to her mum in the audience.
But my god, she was frightening on screen. No wonder footie player Lee wet himself.
Jamie Doyle, who plays the aforementioned Lee Cassidy, the object of the girls' obsession, was also in attendance, as was Candy McCulloch who has a small walk-on role in the film.
Candy, who had brought mum and dad Lorraine and Ian with her, told me she'd been so bitten by the acting bug she's now enrolled in drama college.
The likes of Coleen Rooney and Sheree Murphy were on the guest list, but I didn't see them there....but maybe a few of their menfolk may want to give the movie a viewing and thank their lucky stars.
