Judgement a reborn contract of life; girls, parties, Ben Sherman shirts, Doc Martin boots and shaven hairstyles young Shaun is welcomed, vital spark during this summer festival has got a whole lot better.

An Hilarious, disturbing must see !!
Firstly, 15 year old Thomas Turgoose is immense in this, a truly magnificent, humerous performance full of truth. Secondly, the film itself is superb, it punches where it needs to and exhorts fits of laughter too, totally describing the 80s, certainly as I remember them, with a cringing accuracy that made me catch my breath. Based on a group of skinheads having fun who get unfortunately re-involved with a more radical race obsessed ex-member who has been in prison, who attempts to turn the good time gang into a bunch of race hate muppets. The whole thing is a well worked and worthy film that I would not hesitate in recommending wholeheartedly.
Now... I repect greatly others views and don't comment on them at all, as they are after all only opinions, but on this occasion I m...
This Is England
Twelve-year-old Shaun hooks up with a bunch of fun-loving skinheads during the long hot summer of 1983, until the spectre of racism drives the group apart. Shane Meadows' most personal film to date
At 12-years-old, and young-looking even for his age, Shaun Fields (Turgoose) looks hardly capable of breaking and entering a boiled egg. As elder skinhead Combo (Graham) jokes, he looks like "he came out of a box, like an Action Man, or Barbie doll". Shaun's loss of innocence is at the heart of Shane Meadows' most autobiographical work to date (notice how 'Shaun Fields' deliberately echoes 'Shane Meadows'), along with ever-relevant subjects like absent and surrogate fathers, Western imperialism and white working-class marginalisation, particularly in the post-industrial su...

This Is England
Catterall At 12-years-out-moded, and sophomoric-looking even in support of his age, Shaun Fields (Turgoose) looks hardly clever of breaking and entering a boiled egg. As elder skinhead Combo (Graham) jokes, he looks "he came out of pocket of a sock, an Action Man, or Barbie doll". Shaun's loss of innocence is at the heart of Shane Meadows' most autobiographical work to stage (notice how 'Shaun Fields' calculatingly echoes 'Shane Meadows'), along with ever-relevant subjects absent and surrogate fathers, Western imperialism and white working-class marginalisation, uniquely in the post-industrial suburbs. Right on time, the film also addresses the biggest flashpoint scions of the light of day; an incipient racism substantially legitimised under latest ...
