Movie Reviews

Globe and Mail - 9/10 by Nathalie AtkinsonIt thrills because Constantine, a noted British photographer, shows instead of tells.
National Post - 8/10 by Chris KnightDisaffected youth and music go together like - well, there's actually no better simile. So how else to describe British director Elaine Constantine's first film? For one thing, it's got a well-defined sense of place and time.
HeyUGuys - 8/10 by Stefan PapeIt's impossible not to get a sense for that vigour, that blissful vehemence that comes with discovering new music at such an impressionable age.
Radio Times - 8/10 by Alan JonesLike a British Saturday Night Fever, it captures the look, energy and exuberance of a youth culture, while not shying away from the more violent and amphetamine-fuelled darker sides.
The Spectator - 8/10 by Deborah RossIt also isn't a film of light and dark. It's dark and then darker again, with no humour or sense of joy.
Georgia Straight - 8/10 by Ken EisnerThe cast is mostly made of newcomers, and they are very good indeed.
Detroit News - 7/10 by Tom LongThe first feature from writer-director Elaine Constantine, herself a Northern soul veteran, the film follows a fairly familiar innocent-led-astray storyline.
Movie Talk - 7/10 by Jason BestBrilliantly captures the amphetamine-fuelled energy and sweat-soaked fervour of 1970s northern England's soul music scene.
Total Film - 6/10 by Ali CatterallSporadically engrossing, its highlight is a brilliant recreation of an all-night dance-a-thon at that northern soul mecca, the legendary Wigan Casino.
The List - 6/10 by Henry NorthmoreEven if the plot is slight, Northern Soul scores big with its soundtrack.
