This Is England review

Have a review of Shane Meadow's awesome new film This Is England featuring over at Susan Tomaselli's consistently cool as fuck site Dogmatika. Short story Monsoon Letter is also featured.
Went up to Glasgow with my compadre Neil Rolland to see this and, after getting carried away on the firewater and missing the last train home, had a night of lunacy, wandering the streets, searching for drinking dens. Good craic in the most masochistic sense of the word. Highly recommend the film, which is in all good cinemas from April the 27th onwards, and Shane Meadow's earlier works of genius Dead Man's Shoes and A Room for Romeo Brass

"If there is any justice This Is England will enshrine Shane Meadows as the most powerful and dynamic British writer and director at work in film today. His films are the antidote to all the tiresome lottery-funded rom-coms and mockney gangster shite that masquerades for much of contemporary British film. What Tarantino or Scorsese were to the Hollywoods of their time so Meadows is to British Cinema; a challenge to all that is smug and complacent."
