Film Threat by Alan Ng

The Bromley Boys is a light comedic drama, and you’ll have a good time if anything British is your cup of tea.

The Guardian by Cath Clarke

Weirdly for a film supposedly based on actual events – adapted from Dave Roberts’s football memoir about life as a fan of beleaguered Bromley FC during the 1969-70 season – a persistent whiff of fakeness hangs over it.

Variety by Guy Lodge

Steve Kelly’s lightweight film spins allegedly true events into the stuff of pure sitcom: affable enough, but so glibly inauthentic as to make “Bend It Like Beckham” look like cinéma vérité by comparison. It’s curious how the world’s most popular sport maintains such a thin roster of truly classic movies in its honor; that is unchanged here.

Movie Nation by Roger Moore

Young O’Connor has a pale, clumsy walking bean-pole awkwardness about him, and uses that ungainly appearance to good effect.
