Saw this film recently in Nottingham and really enjoyed it. It transports you back to the early 80s with it's council estate backdrop and cultural themes of the times. The characters are well drawn with their (for me as I remember those times) recognisable demeanours and antics. The story is strong with a moral tone and good pace. Along the way you get some unexpected laughs and great background tracks. The main character is complex - ambitious, caring and loyal. He's a likeable hero figure with a tough nut brother, who himself is a strong, silent type with a soft centre. Sally Phillips does an excellent job of playing their mother. All involved; actors and crew have done a fantastic job - I loved it 😊
