Young Goob, 16 years old, returns home to his mother where he grew up in the countryside, between a small restaurant and a field of pumpkins. His mother's new companion and Goob don't get along. This summer Goob will mature in many ways, dealing with a girl in the stock-car circuit, a gay cousin who dances, and problems with a seasonal woman fieldworker.
Leave your thoughts about The Goob.
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeThe setting for Guy Myhill's terrific coming-of-age drama The Goob is the wind-blasted flatland of rural Norfolk, but there's a reckless, lawless quality to this land and its community that evokes the backwoods of America's deep south. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawA really intelligent essay in classic Brit social realism, well-acted and beautifully photographed by cinematographer Simon Tindall. |
| The ListNikki BaughanAt the centre of it all, lanky newcomer Walpole gives a remarkable, sympathetic performance as a boy on the cusp of manhood, struggling with the pressures of a small-town environment and a half-formed desire for something more. |
| Slant MagazineElise NakhnikianA wordless montage of the Goob's night-long first date with one of the migrant pickers who harvest the crops is transcendent. |
| Time OutCath ClarkeDespite the wide-open scenery, the film exerts a forceful, pressure-cooker sense of claustrophobic inevitability. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThe writer-director Guy Myhill brings an engaging mix of abrasiveness and lyricism to a film that seems at times like a British equivalent to David Gordon Green's early films. |
| Radio TimesDamon WiseSome typical Britfilm flourishes are present and correct - moody shots of the Goob whipping through the long grass, brandishing a stick - but the Norfolk setting, its sincere leads and an affecting score keep things a touch above the usual. |
| Little White LiesAdam WoodwardDoesn't quite live up to its early promise, but still a solid debut from first-time British writer/director. |
| Observer (UK)Jonathan RomneyThe Goob is less about linear narrative than presenting a fragmentary drift of events and a spirit of place that's deeply claustrophobic. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonThere is a skittishness to Guy Myhill's debut that initially feels impressionistic but ultimately seems like carelessness as his narrative weaves unsteadily through its central character's coming of age, unsure where to place its emphasis. |
