Douglas Booth is good as the nascent 'Boy' George O'Dowd as he makes his way from grotty London flats into the high life. With Marc Warren, Richard Madden, Freddie Fox, Mathew Horne, Francis Magee, Mark Gatiss.
Written by Tony Basgallop, photographed by Tony Slater Ling, edited by Emma Hickox; made by Red Productions for the BBC.
Good acting, engaging film doesn't really get to the heart of anything. We watched the original BBC cut with all the eighties music intact, having been advised to do so by Emma. She loves the film's eighties soundtrack (and working with Jarrold).
'Seedy bitches' is a possible alternative title.
