First off, why is she speaking like that? Secondly, too much pointless unnecessary swearing. I expected much better, with Larry Lamb and Phil Davis. Very disappointing.
This is the kind of film that anyone born after 1970 won't understand. Most of a certain age and upwards will understand the pops crackles and aches and pains from old bones, the loss of one's youth thinking you are still young at heart and body, but aren't. The language and racist/sexist language I guess would have a younger generation shocked. The acting is very good by both young and old, the cinematography is very good. There's also small sub plots in the four main characters experience in their younger days at the hands of bullies and personal loss. All in all a good film for those of us getting older and reminiscing of our times as teddy boys and the mayhem.
This film is 'NOT' for the PC brigade. Reminded me of my Grandads generation. A touch of Alf Garnet about the film. There's irony later in the film. Give it a chance, I wasn't disappointed.
A day trip to the seaside, with fond memories of Brighton years ago. What could possibly go wrong? Answer...Almost everything, as the main characters try in vain to recapture old memories. Beautifully Directed by Stephen Cookson, who also wrote the story, which goes a full circle for one character and ends unexpectedly happily. I enjoyed this film so much, shown as part of the Cheltenham International Film Festival (2021), that I watched it twice. Superb acting by all four leads: Larry Lamb, Lesley Sharp, Marion Bailey and Phil Davis, plus an excellent supporting cast. Well done cast & crew!
Clearly designed to hit every tick in the box requiring by woke film buyers and distributors. Even the cast look embarrassed by the story. Well worth a miss......

At the end of the film (set in 2005) the car the 4 main characters are in pass exactly the same road signs on the same road.
