Review of Cemetery Junction (2010) by Midlands M — 13 Oct 2010

Great coming of age comedy drama set in the 70's about three friends who want to escape their home town of Reading, England, one character in particular, Freddie, getting what he believes to be a job as a salesman with decent prospects that will eventually lead to a brighter future while his friends keep battling on at their boring 9-5's but it seems there's certain things in life getting in the way of the friends achieving their dream.

This is a well written and acted film that manages to be funny and dramatic at the right times with a decent soundtrack giving it the feel of the 70's. Good cast to including Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson and Ricky Gervais alongside newcomers Christian Cooke, Matthew Goode and Felicity Jones all giving cool and entertaining performances.
