This Is England: Review By Gooberheadgirl

Not having watched a lot of British films, I'd still have to go out on a limb and say this one has to be one of the best. Shane Meadows is a brilliant writer and director, and the actors hired for this film truly make it shine. Though my knowledge of the skinhead movement is from the US, I still feel This Is England is a very realistic look at the recruitment practices exercised by such movements. Aggressive, touching, sometimes brutal and very realistic, this is a gem of a movie.
