The term 'county lines' describes the practice of using children to traffic drugs from cities to coastal towns and rural areas, an under-reported fact of modern British life. Inspired by the stories he heard while mentoring kids at an East London pupil referral unit, writer-director <a href="/name/nm2207245?ref_=tt_stry_pl">Henry Blake</a>'s powerful feature debut boasts a compelling central performance by <a href="/name/nm7114805?ref_=tt_stry_pl">Conrad Khan</a> as 14-year-old Tyler, whose mum Toni (<a href="/name/nm0534772?ref_=tt_stry_pl">Ashley Madekwe</a>) is struggling to provide for him and his sister. Excluded from school, Tyler becomes a train-bound narcotics courier for local criminal Simon, played with a calm menace by <a href="/name/nm6170168?ref_=tt_stry_pl">Harris Dickinson</a>. <a href="/title/tt7156898?ref_=tt_stry_pl">County Lines</a> (2019) depicts the ensuing cycle of debt, deceit and violent exploitation with a quiet stylistic confidence that's all the more haunting for being so rigorously unsentimental.
