Review of This Is England (2007) by Alexander L — 26 Dec 2016

Simply brilliant in it's own essence-- "This is England" is truly one of a kind. The acting transcends that of the everyday movie and leaves the viewer with the impression that this movie is alive.

The film offers a history lesson as well as a story with a solid plot, leaving one with the feeling that there are very few films that offer such a profound understanding of the world. Evoking an intense sympathy with the story's protagonists, it makes one wonder about the sociological aspects of his or her own life and what really is childhood.
