Reviews
|
Village Voice -
It remains one of the most wrenching films about adolescent angst, thanks largely to the performance of Phil Daniels.
|
|
Variety -
Sting, as the weekend super-Mod whose image collapses when he's revealed to work as a bellhop, cuts a slick dash in the dancehall sequences.
|
|
Christian Science Monitor -
Roddam's minor but imaginative 1979 movie.
|
|
Chicago Tribune -
Plays more like a gritty, episodic British independent film powered by a soundtrack of Who songs that illuminate the main character's turbulent emotions.
|
|
New Times (L.A.) -
As a document of rockin, youth rebellion, the film lodges perfectly between "American Graffiti" and "Trainspotting."
