This is England 9/10
The only Shane Meadows film the missus and I had seen was Dead Man's Shoes which we thought was excellent.
So when we saw adverts for This is England '86 we were hoping Ch4 would show This is England as I've recorded some of his other films which hav ebeen on Ch4, Film 4 and BBC but never got round to watching them.
So tonight we watched This is England to see if the tv sequel will be worth watching, if it's half as good as the film, it certainly will be.
Like Dead Man's Shoes, This is England has scenes which are brilliantly funny, followed by scenes full of suspense, which sometimes end up in something horrible, and sometimes a huge sigh of relief
Brilliant edge of the seat stuff, looking forward to the tv series.
The other thing is, it's interesting how a film made a few years ago, about a group of ppl in the 80s, is completely relevant today
