Review of Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2002) by David M — 24 Oct 2008
Shane Meadows has to be one of the best British Directors of modern time.
Although this is not one of his best (see A room for Rome Brass and Dead Man's Shoes) Once upon a time in the Midlands gives a much more gritty & realistic slant on the romantic comedy genre than many of the recent british attempts (most of which feature hugh grant!).
The acting is wonderful by Ifans, Burke & Henderson.
