Not terribly well directed or written account of young man (Martin Compston) who joins 1970s Wigan craze for soul music (where suspiciously there are no black people), falling for the wrong girl (Nichola Burley, Death Comes to Pemberley) instead of the right one (Felicity Jones). Also with Alfie Allen, Craig Parkinson (from Indian Summers etc.), Jo Hartley (The Mimic, This is England).
Sort of The Apartment. Very visible plot. Ends up a fifties teen movie, and the final dance-off somehow becomes Enter the Dragon (whether by chance or not).
Made me want to see a film about a northern Chinese takeaway, over the decades.
