Review of This Is England (2007) by Raja N — 02 May 2010
After seeing this, my opinion is that the British film industry is starting to get better than Hollywood. This movie has it all, near perfect directing by Shane Meadows, perfect writing, perfect acting, and perfect cinematography.
Almost all the characters are fleshed out and really give something to the flow of the movie. There are like one or two minor characters that really dont matter but then again this is an autobiography of the director's childhood,so maybe they mattered to him.
They really worked hard to make costumes and sets like the 80's. It feels like you are actually watching an 80's movie. I was most impressed with Thomas Turgoose's preformance. Now that kid has true talent.
I would love to see more movies with him in it. Overall this is just a great movie that should not be missed even if it has a really sad and mildly disturbing part that involves racism.
