Leave your thoughts about Spike Island.
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenThough the story is drawn in broad strokes and overloaded with melodrama, director Mat Whitecross' exuberant feature understands the communal joy and personal necessity of rock 'n' roll. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt's a likable, amiable movie, and a nice reminder of the roaring 90s. |
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeSpike Island has plenty of feckless, disorganised charm. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry FitzherbertIt's a bit ramshackle but good fun and enjoyably nostalgic. |
| ViewLondonJennifer TateStylishly shot and features an expectedly strong soundtrack, but the script feels contrived and the clichéd voiceover is rather annoying. |
| The SkinnyJohn NugentChristopher Ross's bold cinematography, in particular, helps capture the potent exuberance of the era. |
| Digital SpyEmma DibdinSpike Island is a film that does more or less precisely what you expect it to do - no more, and no less - and within that limited remit, it's a gentle and affable watch. |
| London Evening StandardCharlotte O'SullivanThe piece as a whole gets bogged down in rites-of-passage cliches and, ultimately, seems out of time. |
| Empire MagazineDan JolinFollowing Made Of Stone, this is another slice of nostalgia for baggies of a certain age. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinSniff all you like, but Spike Island smells of nothing. |
