This is England (2007)Or I was a teenage skinhead (well I wasn't - but the lads in this movie were). Somehow you end up liking the lead character Sean who is a 12 year old boy, bullied and school and dealing with the death of his father, a soldier in the Falklands. He runs into a likeable group of lads who are skinheads, who take him under their wing. Relationships change however, when the more radical skinhead Combo returns from a stretch in prison.
Gives a good glimpse of being a teenager in 1983 and is far more believable than any of the rubbish Hollywood coming of age movies that seem to be pushed out every couple of years. Does contain violence, racism and harsh language so maybe not for the younger folk. 3/5
