Mark R @RT96811182 Jun 30, 2025 The movie indirectly shows an individual ( Colin ) displaying features of autism, displayed just a very shy young man. The performance of Tim Roth is very good.

Commentory on the unmotivated irresponsible idle. See more pete r @RT90162330 Dec 17, 2024 I thought it was great. All great actors, and it summed up suburban London in the early 80s very well, clever to show the parallels of relative wealth vs lower class tenement tower block existence. Gritty reality, but quite sensitive . One of my favourite movies. See more Kevin L @Lakeman Dec 9, 2024 It's not his earliest work, but this is still early Leigh in terms of when he started writing & directing with some regularity. There's most all the would-be trademarks and intentions of Leigh's work. The dialogue is very plain spoken and familiar to the actors. The standout acting is built upon characters that feel very lived in; and the ultimately sad and depressed state they fall into that mirrors much of Great Britain at the time. But it's just too endlessly dour and downbeat for me. Leigh would use comic relief more often and skillfully in later films. Here, it's largely left to the mindless skinhead figure Gary Oldman plays. It's an effective affectation, and has its humorous side, but even that gets sad and dark. My friend loved it, but I doubt he'd like later Leigh movies nearly as much. 3.3 stars See more Shioka O @RT54204327 Nov 19, 2022 Story of becoming Skinheads. That's it. I didn't know Tim Roth and Phil Daniels worked as brothers! Great casting.
