    Gritty Gang Culture

    Excellently gritty, dark and depressing yet with bursts of unexpected comedy, the story of the Green Street Elite is one excelled by an outstanding and refreshing performance by Elijah Wood, whose naivety and gradual regression into thuggery are not only authentic in their delivery, but will also serve to shake of any worries of typecasting after more cuddly hobbit based roles. The supporting cast is also superb, though the new head of the firm could do with some more cockney-london-accent lessons... this film gets four stars for being witty, gritty, and downright enjoyable to watch.

    excellent

    A film about football violence and hooliganism, with a story line or three.

    Portrayed in such a way that you can almost, almost understand how you could be drawn into their kind of world.

    You end up empathising with some of the thugs, even finding them quite likeable.

The film boasts a strong cast including Gabriel Byrne, Emily Watson, Miranda Richardson and Julie Walters. The film tells the story of a family in Swaziland as British rule comes to a close, a far cry from films Grant starred in such as Withnail And I, Jack And Sarah and Spice World. Some 50 films will enjoy their first screening at the festival, including another British offering, Asylum, which... Read more
