Movie Reviews

Shadows on the Wall - 6/10 by Rich ClineEven though the plot of this 1970s-set drama is a bit simplistic, the film is sweet and surprisingly dramatic, holding our attention because of the energetic, good-looking cast. Plus all those groovy outfits and songs.
Radio Times - 6/10 by Brian PendreighIt's more than a little clichéd, with a disco-floor bully who's straight out of panto, but the music and period detail will help take your mind off such deficiencies.
ViewLondon - 6/10 by Matthew TurnerLikeable British coming-of-age drama with terrific performances, impressive production design and a superb soundtrack...
Total Film - 6/10 by Neil SmithA coming-of-ager that doubles as a salute to the Northern Soul movement of the 1970s.
Guardian - 4/10 by Peter BradshawIn the end, there is something just a little too formulaic about the film.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 4/10 by David GrittenFeels oddly detached from the compelling genre of music it claims to advocate.

User Review - 10/10 by Dougie CWant to see this film but it doesn't seem to be showing in Edinburgh
User Review - 8/10 by Peter BA very effective recreation of mid 70s Midlands & Northern Soul youth culture. Nicely characterised with a well balanced cast and full of well thought out period touches. Short and sweet!
User Review - 8/10 by Martin BThe Independent (UK) **** Film of the week, by a distance, is this charmer about provincial youth in 1974. Joe (Martin Compston), frustrated by the pinched horizons of Stoke-on-Trent and his delivery-van job, falteringly finds his groove when he ventures (by bus, of course) to the legendary Wigan Casino, home to Northern Soul and its ecstatic bendy-bodied dance moves. The writer-director Shimmy Marcus styles Joe as heir to the kitchen-sink realists of the 1960s, less fly than Albert Finney, less muscular than Richard Harris, but in Compston's touching portrayal blessed with a grave charisma of his own. The cast around him is equally assured ? Nichola Burley as a too-cool-for-you hairdresser, Felicity Jones as an aspiring art student and the brilliant Pat Shortt as his chivalrous workmate. The film, made on a shoestring, is a little rough around the edges, yet driven by such a genuine love of its milieu and the period texture (pasty complexions, Gola bags, rare vinyl) that you find yourself cheering it along. The music, most of it imported from black America, is superb. Anthony Quinn
