Set in the 1980s this is an immensely likeable and perceptive gem about friendship, faith and the weird business of growing up. Will is the good-hearted but sheltered son of a Plymouth Brethren family who forbid TV, radio and films. When he's thrown together with playground hard nut Lee and introduced to the joy of the movies Will's imagination goes into overdrive and soon they're shooting a camcorder epic with a few makeshift props. Charmingly eccentric, funny, warm, visually inventive and with terrific performances from its young cast this is as good, in its very different way, as This Is England.
