The story of Dr Feelgood, four men in cheap suits who crashed out of Canvey Island in the early '70s, sandpapered the face of rock'n'roll, leaving all that came before a burnt-out ruin - four estuarine John-the-Baptists to Johnny Rotten's anti-Christ. Taking London by storm, they sped through Europe and conquered the UK with No 1 chart success, before imploding just as punk was born and America beckoned with open arms.

Full Plot Details

The story of Dr Feelgood, four men in cheap suits who crashed out of Canvey Island in the early '70s, sandpapered the face of rock'n'roll, leaving all that came before a burnt-out ruin - four estuarine John-the-Baptists to Johnny Rotten's anti-Christ. Taking London by storm, they sped through Europe and conquered the UK with No 1 chart success, before imploding just as punk was born and America beckoned with open arms. Contributions from members of The Clash, Blondie and The Sex Pistols join Dr Feelgood with collaborators Jools Holland and Alison Moyet to tell the story of Canvey, '70s England and the greatest local band in the world.

Movie Reviews

Uncut Magazine [UK] - 8/10 by Neil SpencerIt's Wilko's peremptory, offbeat monologues that provide Oil City Confidential with its through-line and several of its funniest moments, not least when he describes the clouds and flames of the Shell Haven Refinery as "Miltonic"
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Kate MuirJulien Temple's rockumentary Oil City Confidential looks like a series of Martin Parr photographs of the British by the seaside, and then segues into thrashing guitars on the Seventies New York stage.
Scotsman - 8/10 by Alistair HarknessJulien Temple concludes his cinematic history of punk with an origins story, making a persuasive, highly entertaining case for why rabble-rousing musical renegades Dr Feelgood are the unsung progenitors of the movement.
Shadows on the Wall - 8/10 by Matthew TurnerAn entertaining and engaging rock-doc that can be enjoyed even if you're not a fan of the music.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by Matt BochenskiA rugged piece of pulp entertainment charting the unlikely rise of UK blues outfit Dr Feelgood.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 8/10 by Tim RobeyThe splicing of old home videos, archive footage and new interviews is handled with real finesse, and in the band's mad-eyed, quixotic guitarist Wilco Johnson, the film has a tirelessly charismatic ringmaster.
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter BradshawThis is a dark, uncompromising film, thrillingly original and distinctive, with a visionary passion. It is a movie against which all directors, and all moviegoers, will want to measure themselves.
Time Out - 8/10 by Tom HuddlestoneWhat emerges is a film to rank alongside Temple's own Joe Strummer elegy 'The Future is Unwritten' as the very best in British rock documentary. Riveting, even if you don't like the music.
Empire Magazine - 6/10 by Philip WildingAuthentic feel to this good-looking biopic of the ill-fated band.
Metro (UK) - 6/10 by Sharon LougherTemple's constant additions of archive and fictive footage to the mix can become a bit tiring, and splicing in movie scenes to suggest the Feelgood story has film noir connotations is not entirely successful.
