Heard about this & the singer through a Hits CD & was intrigued by the film & what it would be like. The previews showed it to be a good watch so I did years watch it.
The film sees the rise & fall of Kate, a young & promising singer who's trying to get recognition. It is then she meets Danny who wants to promote her music which then leads to him & Kate forming the Band Breaking Glass. But trying to find their feet, never mind make it big proves difficult & even when they do reach success, many ups & downs come their way as they navigate their way to the top with the rising tensions in England during the 1980's.
I found the film to be pretty good. It's entertaining, interesting & pretty watchable. The music by Hazel O'Conor is great in itself, but in the film seems much better with the visuals of the gritty dark corners of England in the 1980's & the rising tensions from different sides.
The pacing & runtime are good at 97 minutes, 1 hour & 37 minutes. So, it doesn't drag & is evening lengthen to tell the story of Kate AKA Hazel O'Conor. The other characters are good & do well with their parts also, Phil Daniels as Danny & Jonathan Pryce as Ken. The film is dark & gritty in areas which makes great & really shows what 1980's Britain was like & portrays it well.
Overall, it's a good film. The cinematography & music are great as well as the actors, Hazel O'Conor, Phil Daniels & Jonathan Pryce especially. It's dark, gritty, interesting & watchable with a decent bit of pacing & runtime. You'll enjoy this.
8/10.
