Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzA powerful but bleak TV movie kitchen-sink drama.
Audiences Everywhere - 9/10 by Nathanael HoodA crucial glimpse into the societal ennui felt by Britain's working class during the 1980s.
New York Times - 4/10 by Walter GoodmanThe first hour is given to aimless glimpses of aimless existences, and the second, in which Colin finds a sort of deliverance, is contrived in concept and awkward in execution.
User Review - 10/10 by Anna CAn odd film, primarily looking at how the dole affects the underclass in Britain. Tim Roth stars as Colin, a slow and possibly retarded man living with his parents and brother in a housing project. He and his sarcastic manipulative brother still behave like teenagers, living with their parents, harassing each other. The problem is that they are in their late teens or twenties. Neighborhood characters include Hayley, a young woman with a crush on Colin, and Coxy (Gary Oldman) a violent local skinhead who befriends Colin. Trouble ensues when their wealthy aunt gives Colin a job and his brother becomes jealous.
User Review - 10/10 by Warren DWorking class hero Phil Daniels delivers again.Remember them filming this in our street and think it was not that true of the locals thank god.But still its a great watch.
User Review - 10/10 by Suzanne Mgreat film but very depressing soundtrack, you need a good sense of humour
User Review - 10/10 by Graham KThis is what happens when families spend too much time together!
User Review - 10/10 by Thomas SLife man, this film captures it brilliantly. Some of the lowest of the lower class during a very low time in Britain, it's characters are all so true to form. The characters are all really great and I want to watch this time after time just to see Tim Roth's performance as Colin.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UKick started the international careers of at least two of Britain's finest actors (Oldman & Roth). Again, Leigh's disdain for the (lack of) values of Thatcherite Britain, a society of wasted youth and people living unfulfilled lives, is never far from the viewer's eye.
