Review of Sammy and Rosie Get Laid (1987) by Jay Scott for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 27 Dec 2012
Sammy and Rosie has a fierce, scrambled intelligence. In this story about a group of interlocking characters in a London neighborhood on the fringe, Kureishi and Frears rack up all of their views on sex, politics, colonialism, social injustice and rebellion like balls in a game of pool, then send them flying.
And they seem less interested in pocketing shots than in watching the balls ricochet and collide.
