Somers Town

Though danger lurks around every corner, it’s a testament to Meadows’s upbeat worldview that the film never once lurches into grim miserablism.

Turgoose continues to convince as a kid whose personality wavers daily if not hourly, while Jagiello playfully suggests that Marek is becoming the perfect straight man.

Somers Town is a small-scale jewel that will surprise you with its buoyant look at blighted lives.

An amusing tale of new friendships and lust set in and around St Pancras International. This is Meadows' most feel-good outing and a pleasant return to irreverent comedy.
