After Colin, a barbershop quartet singer portrayed by Harry Melling, buys snacks for a stranger—a biker named Ray (Alexander Skarsgård)—at a pub, he instantly becomes infatuated. Despite Ray’s apparent lack of interest and only offering a Christmas card with his number, Colin is eager to proceed and accepts an invitation to “take the dog for a walk” on Christmas Day, which offers a clear indication of how their potential relationship will unfold. Throughout the film, we witness a blend of admiration, fondness, compliance, and perhaps even love as Colin integrates himself into a unique biking group. The central question becomes whether he can maintain the initial boundaries of this arrangement, especially as he begins to question the long-term viability of such unwavering devotion and obedience alongside a growing emotional bond. It’s uncertain if that kind of connection will ever be returned, or even desired. Melling delivers a strong performance, though his co-star's role feels somewhat underdeveloped despite possessing an impressive physique. The narrative primarily focuses on Colin's journey—a coming-of-age story that many parents would find unsettling, vividly illustrated by a scene featuring his terminally ill mother (Lesley Sharp), who voices concerns shared by some viewers about Ray and the master-servant dynamic involving her son. While the film’s pacing is uneven and avoids explicit sexual content, it remains an engaging story with a subtle sensuality that might prompt audiences to value their free time more in the future.
