Review: Somers Town


Somers Town

The Good
What can I say? It's a beautiful, simplistic story, and is well-acted by
the entire cast. Turgoose is possibly even better here than he was in TiE, and,
despite being his first screen role, Piotr Jagiello is also extremely well-cast.
I would say this is even better than Dead Man's Shoes and This Is England. (and
the black-and-white adds a very nice touch as well)

The Bad
Although not perfect, there is little to fault with this film.

The Ugly
Well Thomas Turgoose is no child model, and the accents get pretty
annoying, but overall, it is very pretty to look at.

Rating: A / 9/10
