This is England (the one made that is a movie)

It's on DVD now.

i'm lazy :(

Me too, too lazy to even get non-ILX opinions. :(

Clunky and disappointing.

It was fucking brilliant.

Aw how was title filme so Albacadalbra?

Abbott - I thought the main kid wasn't very good; I thought the kids knocking about scenes were really stagey; I thought it was straining for wider significance too hard; I thought the characterisation of some of the kids was all over the place; I thought the whole thing was almost totally ruined by the shitey end scene with its abysmal Smiths cover.

There were some terrific bits though, chief among them the drug scene where things go nasty, and the scene where Lol rejects Combo.

There's a thread already about this film, btw:

This Is England.

(I think it doesn't come up in a search because of the full stop)

aw thx Alba,I was surprised there was not another.

Well, when I searched, it was that one that came up, and not this one.

this one is better :D

I couldn't really get past 19 year olds (?) wanting to hang out with a 12 year old kid.

Yeah, I saw Sixteen Years of Alcohol and now I'm not sure I can bear This is England. It's one of the few decent movies available on Netflix instant watching service, though, so I probably will.

Hmm. Lauren, is that Netflix instant watching thing still PCs only?

It may be, the home computer at my apt (not mine) is a PC. Never tried on a mac -- but I know the doo-dad for watching the movies won't run on Firefox, I have to open an IE window for it.

And I'm Laurel.

it's from the director of Dead Man's Shoes?
