Slightly let down by some of the more stylised stuff (the sped-up bits, the quirky music, the montage of them buying stuff with the insurance money), though for the most part a very interesting film full of angst and repressed emotion. The ending is amazing.

i can't really get into these british angry young man movies, but it's not without a moment or two, like when he throws the race.

A truly great British film about rebellion. The acting is great, the story is compelling. One of the best social commentaries I've seen in a while.

A great film that looks at the changing social attitudes in Britain through the eyes of a rebellious British youth. The film has sharp criticisms of a culture that revolves around money and success without entirely dismissing it. The final 10 minutes are marvelously edited leading to great conclusion.

I didn't care for certain touches like the goofy music or the sped-up bits, but the flashback style was interesting. Richardson drops flashbacks on you without warning, but without being jarring. Tom Courtenay makes a very relatable protagonist, with his cheeky rebelliousness and self-destructive whims. I liked him a little more in Billy Liar, but he's quite good here as well. As a fan of Michael Redgrave, I wish he'd been put to better use.
