Reviews


90
Los Angeles Times - Katie Walsh
The electrifying Northern Soul captures the 1970s British club scene of the same name with ethnographic detail and ebullient style.
83
The Playlist - Christopher Schobert
Constantine captures the invigorating joy of these songs, and humorously shows that it is nearly impossible to listen and not feel the urge to dance.
80
CineVue - Adam Lowes
If Northern Soul loses its way a little as the duo's friendship starts to unravel, with Constantine working in some unwelcome and unnecessary melodrama, this is a minor blip in what is an otherwise joyous and air-punching affair.
60
Empire - Unnamed
While the storyline is a little underpowered, it's so packed with vinyl gems (Edwin Starr, The Salvadores, Frankie Valli) that Northern Soul fans will be doing backdrops in the aisles.

The Guardian - Mike McCahill
Every other scene showcases a northern treasure (Coogan, Thomson, Tomlinson, Stansfield) and looks, feels and – crucially – sounds true to its sweaty-hazy, slightly cramped corner of history.
