Together with Kitchen supervisor Mary (Da'Vine Joy Randolph) he must ensure the boys' wellbeing until the rest of the staff return. Among their number is a particularly troubled young man Angus Tully (Dominic Sessa).
This melancholy comedy has a very standard setup: a hard to live with older man thrown into close proximity with an impulsive young man while a weary woman watches the pair and gives them disapproving side-eye.
All of them are deeply sad and the conventions of drama mean they have to find solace in each other's company and discover something about themselves: it's the law.
It does at least rise above this with the strong performances and very believable gentle low stakes to the events. It's perhaps a little too cosy to have earned the accolades it got on release. There's internal reference to how cosseted the Barton Boys are and for all the emotional trouble on display here the real troubles of the 70s are only visited on Mary yet she remains the least developed character.
Decent but not as good as it thinks it is, 7/10.
