What Gridlock'd Is About

After a friend overdoses, two addicts decide to get into a treatment programme and spend the day fighting bureaucracy: queues, forms, the wrong building, a closed window. The idea is clear and bitter, that deciding turns out to be the easy part. The comedy comes entirely from that absurdity and you are uncomfortable while laughing. The pairing of Tupac Shakur and Tim Roth works, with neither overplaying. The violence and drug use are shown directly.
