What are critics saying?
It remains one of the most wrenching films about adolescent angst, thanks largely to the performance of Phil Daniels.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Roddam's minor but imaginative 1979 movie.
New Times (L.A.) by Gregory Weinkauf
As a document of rockin, youth rebellion, the film lodges perfectly between "American Graffiti" and "Trainspotting."
L.A. Weekly by Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
This ode to wrestling one's way out of youth's shell holds up surprisingly well.
Plays more like a gritty, episodic British independent film powered by a soundtrack of Who songs that illuminate the main character's turbulent emotions.
