5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing film... Trainspotting but far better!, March 14, 2000

This review is from: Small Faces [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Small Faces tells an amazing story of two brothers growing up in 1950's Glasgow, Scotland. Bringing together director Gilles Mackinnon and brother Billy Mackinnon, the story is told straight from the heart. While comparable to Trainspotting in some ways, the film far surpasses that in its drama and intensity; its reality. And while the cinematography in Trainspotting was impressive, Small Faces blows it away in that department also.

Enjoy...

This review is from: Small Faces [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've seen this movie a few times now on video and still think it's great. It's a story of three Scottish brothers, particularly the youngest who becomes involved in a gang. It's a great story about a family growing up together. It shows how many families lives are like, particulary in the UK. It's greatly acted and scripted. I've even got everyone I know to see this movie. A must-see movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie!, July 9, 1999

This review is from: Small Faces [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you can get past the painfully thick scottish accents, the movie is wonderful. Saw it at the Seattle International Film Festival a few years ago, and got to meet the director. It is well done, with great dialogue, only a few jokes or references inexplicable to non-scottish viewers. The acting is great, particularly on the part of the young man who plays the older brother, Charley, I believe.
