Leave your thoughts about Hunky Dory.
| Shockya.comBrent SimonA period piece spin on Glee, as filtered through the gauzy lens of underclass-artistic-exuberance that's plagued a subset of comedic-leaning British imports ever since Billy Elliot. |
| Birmingham Mail Graham YoungAlthough the film loses focus for a while around two-thirds of the way in, it ends as a well-rounded study of youthful apathy, anger and ambition mixed in with a degree of sexual awakening appropriate for the time. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry FitzherbertIn some respects the picture tries too hard to be too many different things, and Driver's Viv feels underwritten, but the nostalgic, toe-tapping atmosphere and likeable characters carry the day. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)Mark AdamsThink a Welsh blend of Glee and School of Rock, with a great soundtrack and young cast led by the terrific Aneurin Barnard as talented but troubled student Davey. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerWarmly directed and engagingly written, this is a hugely enjoyable coming-of-age drama with a terrific central performance from Minnie Driver and stunning musical sequences performed by a talented cast of young unknowns. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedThe result is not without a few moments of exhilaration, although the overall effect is more like the Bard of Avon meets "Glee." |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnThe earnest playing of the orchestra and the lo-fi warbling touch the heart in a way that a more polished production might not. |
| ScotsmanSiobhan SynnotIf Hunky is hellishly clunky, it's also good-hearted and well-intentioned with some laughs and decent tunes. |
| Irish TimesDonald ClarkeIt's all very lovely and very sad. Cynics need not apply. Aging softies will almost certainly yield to Evans's warm sensibilities. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawMarc Evans's Hunky Dory is sentimental, sweet-natured and daft as a brush. |
