Better than expected, coming- of -age movie. A great retrospective on immigrant life in the U.K. In the late 80s..

The movie was really well done. It is based on a true story of a father/son relationship where nothing happens in Luton and shows the racism and joblessness faced by so many. All done to the music of Bruce Springsteen and the inspiration of a young man to get ahead and charm you with his outlook.

The film is full of heart and joy and it's good for the soul.

The trailer made it seem light hearted but it ended up being a pretty serious coming of age story with well depicted issues like racism, Islamophobia, and unemployment
