    Very slick, very cool. Tight plot, script and a great cast. Love a 90 minute runtime.
    Really enjoyed this.

    Completely, 100%, exactly what you would expect.

    Seemingly a puff piece for football hooliganism and hyper masculinity as the main character has close to zero redemption or negative repercussions for his idiotic choices 😂.

    Still reasonably enjoyable to watch Danny Dyer say Fuck and Cunt quite a lot.

    This is a decent film but the fact anyone has been nominated for any oscars, let alone 13!, is really baffling to me.

    The plot is reasonably enjoyable but the songs are not memorable and slightly jarring, the acting is mediocre and the messages it's trying so very hard to express end up coming across quite confused.

    It isn't visually striking or really very significant as a film so all these nominations I just cannot understand

    I think I admired this film more than I actually enjoyed it.

    There were definitely moments that kept me intrigued and interested into what was going on due to the stellar cast and their performances, however this subject matters is really not one that draws me in to love a film.

    The score needs a positive mention and in my opinion it should win the Oscar for that, but I struggle to see where it would be deserving of any others.
