The gentle truth about the title, That will not stand, is a strong testament to proactive people who refuse to see others suffer, or injustices perpetrated. The compressed timeline of one day keeps the narrative moving, and one liners flowing. Bauer’s humour is restrained here, with the banter between Sebastian and best friend Tolly, a sharp witty back and forth, rather than anything physical or exaggerated. ![]() Seemingly light and humorous on the surface, but ultimately a lot more going on underneath (of course). ![]()
