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...

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.

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.

The film small faces is great, i live where the film
is set and gang culture is very popular in the gorbals.
The gangs in the film (tongs,glen)were very feared around glasgow in the 1990s but now they are not very popular.
the film is a very sad when lex has his brother killed.
THE FILM HAS SOME QUIT VIOLENT SCENES THE FILOM HAS EVERY THING FROM SEX VIOLENCE AND TEARS IT IS GREAT
