Review of This Is England (2007) by Sophie J — 25 Nov 2008
Reminds me of the low life 'football factory' meh not well thought out despite containing some potent variables, its no more than a one off Channel4 drama, late night watch...thats been done in some part many times before, be it not the portrait of the early 80s, other topics stay the same.
Not generally impressed...nothing new delivered in its snapshot. There are worst wastes of time suppose, but they're definitely more credible films worthy of a watch. The little boy, girl relationship made me sick, would they done the same, if it was a little girl with a grown guy? That along with many other factors (dishonesty that the skinheads are loved up mixing group?) got wrong halts any effort to portray the relentlessness and bigotry of extremism, all of which were pretty futile here.
A masterpiece this most certainly is not, highly overrated.
