Great music, of course, and a realistic recreation of the 1970s; from all I've heard, the film captures 1970s northern England accurately.
I couldn't connect with the characters though. I didn't think they were well developed at all. It's written like a biopic, with a plot driven by more or less disconnected episodes rather than a cohesive narrative. Which is a pity, because I thought the acting was pretty good. Even if the lead character looks closer to 30 than to being a teenager.
Anyway, the song that plays over the opening sequence, which was a bit of a hit in the mid-70s and is not a Northern Soul song: anyone know what it is?
