Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A drama that's so potent and persuasive yet also natural and intimate that it almost has the heft of a documentary.

fresh:
It may be the best work to date from the talented 34-year-old writer-director of Twenty Four Seven (1997).

Its tough but moving neo-realist approach make it one of the better British films of recent times.

fresh:
You wouldn't think a film about a group of British skinheads during the early 1980s could be a sweet, nostalgic coming-of-age period piece, but that's the surprise of the authentic, fresh and utterly relevant This Is England.
– Jennie Punter,

fresh:
How sad and predictable is the fate of those who counsel violence as a means to an end. And yet how poignant it all seems when viewed through Shane Meadows' thoughtful lens.
