Review

 

Twelve year-old Romeo and friend Gavin live next door to each other. They are best mates with a shared sense of humour that helps them to survive in a landscape of comic losers and broken dreams. But their friendship is put to the test by a chance encounter.

After a stranger saves them from being beaten up, the boys are only too happy to help their new hero and pal in his quest to date Romeo's sister. Little do they realise that they are being drawn into a dangerous obsession, violence and desperation, a world that threatens to tear the two friends apart.

From acclaimed director Shane Meadows, A Room for Romeo Brass is a contemporary coming-of-age story that is as funny as it is frightening.

I think that this is one of the best british films made. The acting and directing is perfect. Paddy Considine is brilliant. The film is funny as well as being scary and dark. Well worth a look.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Another Shane Meadow's success story...

After seeing Goodbye Charlie Bright, This is England and Dead Man's Shoes; I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this title, as I had mixed opinions on those three films. Dead Man's shoes was fantastic, instantly becoming one of my favourite films. However I wasn't majorly impressed with Goodbye Charlie Bright. I was delighted to see Paddy Considine casted in this film as I think he is a real talent. This film takes you on a journey of a relationship of two young boys. You get attached to the two main characters and begin to wonder where they are going to end up. A great individual story accompanied by realistic characters makes this a must see from the acclaimed director, Shane Meadows.

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars Poor & very disapointed

I usually love Shane Meadows and was really looking forward to watching this film. The characters are great (Paddy Considine is amazing again) and the film has loads of potential but there's no real story here.

As i was watching it i found myself wondering when it was going to kick in properly, and then, just when it did a little the credits started rolling!!

In my opinion it's a very, very dissapointing effort.
