Review of This Is England (2007) by Johnm. — 16 Dec 2007
Vastly overrated by the critics. It's patronising use of references to the 80's seems to be dreamed up by a 14 year old, why does everyone have to be a Skinhead, a boy George look-a-like, or a member of the Specials? Would've been better set it in the current day as the story is still relevant if not more so.
The script is not well thought out and the improvised acting really starts to grate on you when everyone repeats the lines five times over like a school dramatics rehearsal.
