The movie is carried by the two hard-dancing leads, whose sweat-soaked strutting demands attention.

Rich in period detail, it's as transportative to the shuffling spins, fashion subculture and euphoric, amphetamine-fuelled all-nighters of 1974 Lancashire and the cult-following DJs of the Wigan Casino as a documentary, turned up to 11.

The film has a ferocious, shaggy energy that mirrors that of the testosterone-, amphetamine- and adrenaline-pumped boys.

Where this movie comes up short is in bringing any kind of real life to its bildungsroman side.

The first feature from writer-director Elaine Constantine, herself a Northern soul veteran, the film follows a fairly familiar innocent-led-astray storyline.
October 2, 2015 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… -
Funny and feisty, gritty and sometimes grim, this first feature from the photographer Elaine Constantine delivers a sweaty snapshot of a very specific time and place.

Feb 14, 2015A really engrossing look at how US soul music reached the UK in the 70's and the scene that accompanied it. Great performances from the well known actors but the main actors who are not that well known, along with the superb soundtrack, really steal the show and keep you watching.Ian W Super Reviewer
