Movie Reviews of Brassed Off!
Movie Review: Appropriate for middle schooler?
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie when it first came out and loved it. I now have a middle schooler who plays a great trombone and I'd love to rent the movie to inspire him with his music. But...I often have a rose-tinted impression of old movies I've seen, even though I can't remember anything inappropriate in "Brassed Off". But it got an "R" rating - can anyone tell me what's in there which isn't OK for a middle schooler to see? Thanks.Movie Review: enjoyable realism and fun at a time when realism was stark
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful film. The music was fun and for a flutist that I am, I did appreciate the use of a brass band in a major film. I loved seeing British women played as real women not the usual model type commonly seen in US films. All actors were brilliant and I have yet to see Pete Postlewaite give a bad performance. Thoroughly great flick and a keeper in my collection.Movie Review: Funny and bitter. One of the best ever
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best ever films to show the life of the workingclass in England. This has everything: It's funny, it's real, it'sbitter and sad, it's pure and simple. The people are not the beautiful people you can see on the cover, but rather a bitter woman who hits her unemployed fat and cute husband. Don't let the cover mislead you. It's much much better.Movie Review: GCB when you know - humanity wins
Summary: 5 Stars
This is nothing less than the finest musical / political / tragedy / drama ever! (and that includes Costa Gavras' "Z")Buy four and see what happens when you loan one out!
Great performances by every actor, musician and technical staff in the picture -- flawless and with a soundtrack to die for.
A fitting response to Maggie Thatcher's policies.
Movie Review: Don't like brass bands/orchestras? Get this anyway!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this movie because I love the english humor. Snapper and the like. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. The story is a good one to boot. It is based in truth and is well worth a look. If you hate brass bands, Get this anyway. If you love that type of music, Get this for sure.
