The only thing this glamorises is excellent British movie-making

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2005)

This film is nothing short of breath-taking, not because of beautiful scenery, choreography etc...but because it is such a powerful film in a comic and emotional sense. Rarely does a film actually change me but this did, with a perspective not only on drugs but on life in general I had not considered before. All the characters have both likable but with flaws as with anyone you'd meet in real-life, and to look upon such a controversial subject with such conviction, imagination and a comic touch deserves real credit.
All the main acting performances are top-notch and hit the right note every time, and with a wonderful soundtrack to back the film up (Underworld - Born Slippy is the greatest track of all time) its no surprise that this gem is recognised as a classic.
As long as you're not too fragile, this is a must-see.
