Having lived and danced through the Northern Soul years in North West England I was excited to watch this movie.
The music score is fantastic and does not rely on only floor stompers but also some less known gems.
The youth club scene was very accurate, I remember them well bringing my own records for the DJ to play.
Acting is good and characters believable, I would have liked to have seen Steve Coogan in a more prominent role but other than that well cast.
Storyline touches on the drug scene but only criticism would be that would have been better to have a serial user than a dealer as many kids into northern soul took speed and didn't drink alcohol in order to dance all night.
If you have never heard of Northern Soul watch this movie and hopefully you will discover the great music. If you are a northern soul veteran then watch this and bathe in nostalgia.
