Review of Quadrophenia

Quadrophenia (1979)
10/10
Astonishingly good - a *must* view
16 March 1999
Quadrophenia was not a movie I was anxious to see. When the ads were first shown on TV, all I could see was another 'pop' movie with a scene that seemed to be ripped off from 'A Hard Day's Night'.

Oh my, how wrong I was.

Phil Daniels gives one of the most absorbing performances I've ever witnessed, (along with Tim Roth in 'Made in Britain') The story is so true. The writing, rich.

But I'd like to point out that while this is gritty, realistic stuff, there is much humour here.

And of course the ending leaves many shaking their heads, (or convinced they know what happened)... but if you're confused , simply rewind and play that first minute of the movie again and then decide.
