It bring tears of joy to my eyes knowing that Joe Strummer never lived to see this film. It would have killed him.

why is joe strummer like some sort of punk fairy godmother in this ????

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is great as Joe Strummer.

I just adored this movie. It was such a great coming of age story about a boy who’s always had to step up when his parents didn’t and who just wants to find himself.

He finds himself in a punk club in 70s London and discovers he can be strong and confident in his decisions. He brings his family into the now and finds an unlikely friend in Joe Strummer.

It was a great story and the cast was fantastic. It reminded me slightly of Sing Street, but that’s not a bad thing!

I L<3ve Musicals!

Young Shay discovers the music of The Clash and uses it to get away from his dysfunctional parents, who had both been involved in in the music business themselves.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays Joe Strummer fairly well in this punk fairytale, while the parts of Shay and Alice are well played by by child actors Daniel Huttlestone and Anya McKenna-Bruce.

Interesting and enjoyable, this has a silly story arc but it stands as an unusual music film which just happens to have a real band depicted in it.

Dougray Scott and Natascha McElhone are the parents who have let their children down, while Nell Williams plays a sympathetic part as a rich rebel girl.

Not quite as affectionate as Sing Street but a joyous story of young discovery set against the rise of The Clash and punk in 70s London. A fun little watch.

This is the film that first introduced me to the clash and punk. After rewatching it 4 years later I'm just disappointed

Let's just say I went into this film with very low expectations but these expectations where exceeded significantly. The music was great, the plot was great. The only thing bad about it was London felt like 2016 london not 1979 London but then again i understand the struggle to make that happen.

Derrick Borte, de regisseur van het geweldige Unhinged, heeft nog een aantal films gemaakt en deze sprak mij gelijk aan. Mannetje van 14/15 jaar in 1978 en Colonel Jacob Kane, zijn vader, heeft een piano winkel en Karen Californication is zijn afwezige moeder, hij wordt volwassen, krijgt een punk vriendinnetje en hij is fan van The Clash. King Henry III aka Dracula aka Elvis speelt Joe Strummer. Leuke film tegen de achtergrond van Engeland in 1978 een periode die mij heel erg boeit. Ik heb natuurlijk een hekel aan kind acteurs maar dit kereltje en zijn vriendinnetje doen het heel leuk. Ok, nu ben ik benieuwd naar de andere films van Borte zeker die ene met Jim Gaffigan.

This a a great coming of age story with some excellent performances. The drama of the lead's situation is well balanced with moments of humor, keeping the film from being too heavy. The music is excellent too!!

This movie rules, why do you all suck so hard

Offbeat but not in the ideal way! I know it’s about The Clash but I guess things just clashed?

idk what to even say. The plot is nothing short of mental, but I guess more than anything it is a celebration of Punk, and its made me go and buy a Clash record so??? Good, I guess??

I generally have mixed feelings about Jonathan Rhys Meyers but he is lovely here as this film’s saintly celebration of the great Joe Strummer.

I love Joe Strummer and honestly, I’m fully ready to believe that he was essentially some kind of saint, so I’m very open to this.

Great work by young leads, mostly carrying the film themselves.

This film concluded a triple-bill of Yesterday, Blinded By The Light and London Town, three British films about ordinary people and their relationship to iconic music.

A kid with a hospitalised dad and drunken mum befriends Joe Strummer!

Las referencias musicales hacen la película: The Clash para todos. La historia es cualquier cosa.

This was a weird one. There was a good film in here somewhere, but it just didn't quite hit the mark. I think with some work this could have really been something.

The stakes were low and the plot was predictable. There were some good performances in this but I wish more could have been done with Joe Strummer, played here by Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Let's just say I went into this film with very low expectations but these expectations where exceeded significantly. The music was great, the plot was great. The only thing bad about it was London felt like 2016 london not 1979 London but then again i understand the struggle to make that happen.
