Aberdeen
Hinging on a volatile relationship between father and daughter, Aberdeen is a road trip where the journey is essentially emotional. Lena Headey and Stellan Skarsgård are both excellent as the pair thrown together by their ex-wife and mother Charlotte Rampling. Sent to Oslo with orders to bring her alcoholic father back to Aberdeen, Headey scuppers what should have been a straightforward trip with a bout of lounge-rage at Oslo airport and they are forbidden a flight. Car and ferry, then, for the both of them. Fuelled by alcohol (Skarsgård), coke (Headey) and anger (both), it's touch and go whether they'll make it without concussing each other with their hefty emotional baggage. Ian Hart softens the blows as a trucker who manages to come along for the ride.
