This Is England
Shane Meadow's latest is his finest yet. Building on the themes explored in his previous work, this is an intelligent and emotive look at a boys life in the early '80s. Young Shaun, superbly played by first-timer Thomas Turgoose, finds identity and solace with a group of older skinheads, and all is well, until the nationalist Combo - played with both soul and menace by Stephen Graham - appears on the scene.
