Review of Gregory's Girl (1980) by Tim L — 29 Jan 2010

Relatively unknown and a real gem (rather like Clockwise). A hilarious and heartwarming film in equal measure. It reminded me of school and myself at that awkward age, and I think that's part of the appeal of this film because the brilliant way he plays it will probably remind most guys of what they were like! ha. I also loved the 'it's a well known fact' guy who has some great scenes. It's quite a simple and 'nice' film if that makes sense, and anyone expecting a rollercoaster of none-stop action will be disapointed, but if you want a sweet and funny film about coming-of-age, there's few better than this.

The acting is brilliant, particularly from such young actors and actresses, and it's a real trip down memory lane with the '80s high school and memorable hairdos! A real 'feel-good' film and well worth watching if you can get hold of it.
