This Is England (2006)

A boy who is mocked by his schoolmates finds a group of skinhead friends who protect him. The arrival of a man who was in prison and now aspires to be the new leader causes internal division. This new leader has a strongly rightwing position against immigrant workers.

Interesting drama with a fairly engaging first half but with some problems related to a climactic event which is not very satisfactory and leads to an abrupt ending. The insertion of a montage showing the ending of the Malvinas War is also not well though out and feels like an unnecessary filler.

Rating: 52
