Absolutely quality, my dad had begged me to watch it for ages and I eventually put it on, completely kickstarted an obsession with the roses, oasis, happy Monday and more, sent me down a rabbit hole of being born in the wrong generation, I put it up there with my favourite British films like snatch etc, absolutely quality film
It’s utter shit. The juke box has One Love and Ten Storey Love Song on it. Tracks that weren’t released until 5 years AFTER Spike Island. Joke of a film.
i grew up in manchester listening to the stone roses in the 80's. it was nothing like this movie. the roses were almost an underground band, basically you had to be the weirdest and artsyist of all your classmates to be into them. and they weren't a football playing working class band, their fans didn't look like oasis fans. they were snobby and avante garde and posh. lot of made up history in this film.
Utter f'kin nonsense. I was there, they had fans across the board. Granted, Oasis fans donned bucket hats and flares, however, plenty of Oasis fans liked the Rose's too.
A film made by fans? How can One Love and Ten Storey Love Song be on the Jukebox in 1990 when they weren’t released until 1995? And Sally Cinnamon is apparently about a lesbian??? Idiots. And produced by Coldplay! W*ank.
Ben H2 hear that a lot...usually from people who got out first chance they could. Tend to look back on the times with the nostalgia factor turned up to 11.
i only wanted to watch this movie becuase of Emilia Clarke - but now i love the movie - ok im German - i must watch it with subs or i dont understand anything - but i must say its really one of the greatest movies ive ever seen - and Emilia is in it :D
