This Is England

Based on childhood experiences of director Shane Meadows and the lead actor, Joseph Gilgun, the story follows a group of skinheads in the 1980’s.
The film felt very real, almost documentary-like (as if we are just following people around).
Great performances all around.
Joseph Gilgun playing the young boy looking for a father figure was outstanding.
It was nice to see a movie about skinheads that included non-racists skinheads (the original, true skinheads).
It balanced comedy and drama very well. It was as funny as it was ’scary’.
