Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

antiflakflak Topic was a good excuse to make a movie. It is a very interesting time in the British music world. The plot seems choppy with the characters fighting, swearing and drugging their brains out, I guess it portrays British working society as very gritty, dingy, and inspirationally bleak. They need to be lifted up and find a refuge in the obscure soul music from America. The movie doesn't flow well, maybe due to all the violence the characters are caught up in. Dialog, plot all of it weak, but captures the essence of the era in the look and feel quite well and the characterization of working class youth going nowhere. There was an amazing radio show on CITR at one time called "Shake a Tailfeather" that played all of this northern soul, but it seemed to have come to an end, don't know what happened to the DJ or show. Anyways it is a movie tackling an obscure time in music history, worth watching.

mylambretta I was really looking forward to seeing this film. I am and always have been a Soul music lover and Northern Soul fanatic. I was hoping to see how the Northern Soul culture developed alongside the pop scene in the 1970's. The beginning certainly started like this and reminded me of my youth club days. It showed how the music and scene became infectious and more and more people wanted to be involved. Unfortunately, for me, it went downhill very quickly. It is basically a film about the drug scene, with a Northern Soul theme running in the background. I went to Wigan several times and many other all nighters. I accept that some people did take drugs but in my opinion it was nothing like what was portrayed in the film. Having said that, the music and dancing scenes were terrific, although there are some of my favourite songs on the released CD set that were not in the film. At the end of the day it is a fictional film, based on facts from individuals from the time and if it was a film purely based upon the music and culture, then I suppose it would not have a very wide audience. Well done Elaine and thank you for allowing me to fondly reminisce about the wonderful memories of my younger days.

edmund j smyth This movie takes you to the halls of Northern soul,gritty and true in so many ways,Superb music,wonderful acting,having been there and done that from the days of the Twisted wheel,and the many other clubs now written down in history,i can testify to the authenticity of the film,and the way it has portrayed the Northern soul scene at this time,many will deny what went on at the time as they should due to being grandparents and setting a good example to there off springs,but my word it sure did,the dancing is superb maybe hard to follow in the footsteps of the brilliant dancers of the day.as there where some who will never be emulated due to there skills,this fast moving world of dynamic dancing super cool music and just being young and living life to the full is reproduced to perfection,so congratulations to the writers producers and the cast,but most of all all the folk who where there in the day and have supported this music right up until now,right on,and keep the faith,i know you always will.

Kerry Morgan Northern Soul – love it live it, there is no other way!I was there and everything that went on it that film went on in the mid-70s soul scene. Obviously not every week; as a bit of poetic licence needs to be added to give the viewers a storyline. Apart from a few anorak moments everything was detailed exactly, or as near to, the era including the locations and clothing.The choice of music was absolutely 10 out of 10, for the period. Having seen it on the big screen, the DVD lives up to that experience. Miss it – Miss out…..In the words of John Bowie – 'Your're gonna miss a good thing' H
