Movie Info
Made for British television, 1989's Look Back in Anger is the third film adaptation of John Osborne's legendary "kitchen sink" stage drama. Kenneth Branagh plays working-class roisterer Jimmy Porter, the archetypal "angry young man" whose college education has led nowhere. Stuck in a go-nowhere job at a candy store, Porter rebels against the establishment through his boorish treatment of his wife (Emma Thompson) and mistress (Siobhan Redmond). Branagh's forceful performance allows us to ignore

Audience Reviews for Look Back in Anger
[b][font=Trebuchet MS][size=3]I was not at all impressed with this one. I've never even heard of the play before, although it's considered by some one of the more "important plays of the century" and there's been several film adaptations (including the 1959 one with Richard Burton). The performances are fine, of course since the actors are top notch, especially Emma Thompson. I just found the lead charactor (Jimmy Porter) really repulsive, whiney and obnoxious. All the other charactors seem quite weak. The whole story takes place in one tiny apartment that seems to have only one room. It's just one long rant after another & I was bored stiff watching it.[/size][/font][/b]
