Northern Soul

"An enjoyable throwback."

"Looks, feels and - crucially - sounds true to its sweaty-hazy, slightly cramped corner of history."

"A buzzing love letter to the enduring, exclusive underground movement."

"Nails its time and place."

"Scores with its soundtrack, its characters, its performances."

"Funny and feisty, gritty and sometimes grim."

"Feels at times like a low-budget English cousin of Saturday Night Fever."

"Has no shortage of style, but ultimately relies a lot on cliché."

"A revealing if disappointingly thin and histrionic drama."

"A roaring, chaotic, often unintelligible mess."

"Where this movie comes up short is in bringing any kind of real life to its bildungsroman side."

"Has a ferocious, shaggy energy."

"It's got a well-defined sense of place and time."

"Rich in period detail."
