Leave your thoughts about Quadrophenia.
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonRoddam's look back at an angsty young man in '65 is a throwback to the kitchen-sink dramas that began plumbing the depths of lower-class lives then. Reeking with a restless teen spirit, Quadrophenia leads us down adolescence's blind alleys of rebellion. |
| Scene-Stealers.comEric MelinDirector Franc Roddam shot the film with a gritty, realistic feel and the themes of youthful rebellion and confusion are absolutely timeless, magnified by the specificity of the setting rather than being limited by it. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseAn anti-musical...based on The Who's 1973 "rock opera" concept album...all the more brilliant for this seemingly counter-intuitive approach. [Blu-ray] |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film lives through the superb raw angst-ridden performance of Phil Daniels. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"Quadrophenia" is a glorious representational story of male teen angst that transcends its British locations and great music with a sense of the confused romantic notions that young men the world over carry with them. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeDisappointing film version of a great concept album. |
| Movie MetropolisChristopher LongWhen you're an angry young man, there's no better way to prove you're an individual than to dress and act exactly like everybody else. |
| User ReviewRichard DOne of my favorite films. It really does capture teenage angst and rebellion. |
| User ReviewPatrick MIt's been over 12 years since I last saw this film, and I still consider it the best rock opera ever made. |
| User ReviewJennifer MThis is what it is like to be young, or it should be. The highs, lows, laughs and tears of being a teenager and feeling part of something and yet alienated at the same time. A cool, sassy film that gives a brilliant snapshot of mid Sixties Britain against a superb soundtrack. A fabulous, intoxicating movie. |
