It captured the twisted, yet true feeling of what it's like to gow up a united fan of 1, living with those who not only hate your team, but look down on those who do. It was clever.

The problem with this scenario is that NOBODY WATCHES MUSIC VIDEOS any more. Much Music, etc, are just showcases for vile "reality" shows and bottom of the barrel comedy for morons.

It's a dazzling display of colour and grime with Michael Gambon in a memorable performance. If anything, see it for the beautiful Michael Nyman music that really makes the film.

Stuart Gordon is a master, simple as that. Stripped down, low-budget storytelling at its best. And a timely "it's all about me" theme for self-centered Haligonians.
