    Didn't expect to like this one but I did. Very well directed, edited and acted. The pace suited the story telling. Would recommend to anyone.

    Nice boy becomes man style movie with an ageing Daniel Craig looking back on mistakes made in his youth. Very well acted with gorgeous cinematography, this is an engaging highly watchable drama with a toe-tapping soundtrack. Just be warned that Craig is off screen for half the movie, but his younger self Harry Eden definitely makes his presence felt on screen.

    A different and interesting take on a guy who's life flashes before his eyes. There's one or 2 scences that really shock. Otherwise it's a bit too long and as a result feels drawn out. Wait for the DVD

    Had a good 70s vibe to it, but I fell asleep during some of it.

    Good, tho Daniel Craig doesn't appear in it too often, he bookends the movie and to be honest, his scenes are the least interesting. Great soundtrack!

    Dull in the present but great nostalgic scenes of the ‘70s. It’ll have you rooting out your Roxy Music!

    Enjoyable coming of age story with clever direction and a hum along soundtrack. Daniel Craig shakes away the Bond image with ease.
