This is England (2006)


Quick review, a very touching and down to earth film. Very gritty and to the point of what it should be about. A little kid who was picked on and finding his way into a skinhead group in England in 1983. The little kid Thomas Turgoose was amazing, honestly had to be one of my favorite performances from a young actor since, well maybe Pans Labryinth. Great soundtrack too, mixed with some Oi! and punk music. Highly recommend this film. Only reason i gave it a little lower score because to me, it felt like something i wouldn't watch again, but id still recommend.

7/10

I agree with your review, but surreal? How's that?
