Leave your thoughts about Brassed Off.
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Quentin CurtisIt survives through its never-failing sense of humour and the fact that by its loving depiction of alternative values -- of warmth and community -- to the ones it assaults, you feel it has earned the right to turn attacker. |
| San Francisco ExaminerWalter V. AddiegoWriter-director Mark Herman seems genuinely moved by the plight of the mining communities, but his attempt to translate those feelings into a story shows the effects of hard labor. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksWhen it gets serious, "Brassed Off" is maudlin, mediocre and maddening. And, unfortunately, it gets more and more serious as it progresses. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenShamelessly manipulative and sentimental, but in an agreeably familiar way. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordTouching story is a good early showcase for McGregor |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatStirring film about losing your job and reclaiming your soul. |
| Boston PhoenixTom MeekDirector Mark Herman conveys England's controversial mine-pit-closure program in a dark, docudrama style that echoes the gritty realism achieved in the works of Mike Leigh and Ken Loach. |
| User ReviewPrivate UVery close to my heart because of where it is filmed, the fact whit friday features (including my dad) and the music get me every time. A must see. |
| User ReviewSimon MThis is a much better film than The Full Monty, although the accents of the two Scottish leads in each are not what you'd call accurate. |
| User ReviewBen RI normally don't like movies with political motives, but that is such a minimal presence in an otherwise well done romantic comedy set in the unique background of a small coliery town in England. |
