Taking its name from the site of one of The Stone Roses’ most iconic gigs in 1990, this warm and witty drama evokes the era of Madchester in a coming-of-age tale about would-be rock stars.
Directed by Mat Whitecross, who made 2010’s Ian Dury biopic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, the movie follows the misfortunes of Shadow Caster, a band formed by four working class Northern lads keen to emulate the success of their heroes, but school, family and girlfriends conspire to keep them from climbing the ladder to stardom.
However, the biggest distraction comes when the foursome squabble when trying to score tickets for the Roses gig, which they suspect may turn out to be a defining moment of their generation and not to be missed.
