if you liked This Is England, you'll love this one

Great to see the star of This Is England grown up and giving another natural performance. A very simple story about a friendship which develops between a Nottingham teenager and Polish teenager both bored and lonely in London. Shot in black and white throughout, moving to colour for the last few minutes ending in quite a joyful mood.
Boring.

Only bothered to rent this because of the good reviews, I'm sorry I did. Can't see what all the fuss was about, nothing really happens in this, two teenagers mooning over a french waitress and robbing clothes from a laundrette...not my idea of a good movie, bored me to death. Give it a miss.

Another beautiful movie from Shane Meadows. Everything I have seen from this young director so far is pure gold
The main star starts out as awfully annoying but you cant help but love him at the end and the relationship between the Polish boy and his dad comes across very strongly.
Credible, exciting performances.

This very low key film is slightly thin on plot but thick on terrific comedic performances. Don't let the lack of strong plot put you off, this is in itself a charm. Thomas Turgoose turns in a natural and brilliant performance. Very sweet, charming film, will warm you to your bones.
Great little gem

This is a lovely story about a polish teenager in london who meets a young northern english teenager. The young english actor is brilliant - hilarious - I hadn't heard of this film so I wasn't expecting much from it but was pleasantly surprised, laughed alot - well worth seeing
