Review of This Is England (2007) by Hamidgoodarzi — 18 Oct 2022
In condemned racism.
Sean is a 12-year-old boy who meets and joins a group of young skinheads led by Woody, and this membership in the group brings him adventures. This film tries to have a realistic structure by using documentary scenes, especially from the Falkand Islands war. The film has a strong anti-racist view in its inner layers and moves based on subcultures in the society and is remarkable in this sense.
But the film is actually two parts and the trend changes from the middle of the film and even important characters like Woody disappear from the middle of the film and the film takes a different direction. Therefore, it seems that the script does not have enough focus and the secondary characters do not have an effective role in the film.
