I could watch it over and over

Rating: 9/10 (31 August 2016)

Never would I have thought a film about 5 teenagers stuck in detention could be so beautifully heart breaking and uplifting all at once. As everyone remembers being a teenager and the personal problems you face at this time, the film touches you on one level or another. The script is so pure and simple that the characters have to carry the story which is exactly what the cast does. The character development in this film is incredible and you empathise with each of them, especially Jude Nelson as 'bender' (the criminal) who's attention-seeking angry behaviour unravels throughout the film and we see him as the vulnerable character he is. The Breakfast Club is a film that shows us the importance of looking beyond the surface level and I could watch it over and over again.
