FOR THE FILM: 'Morrison displays terrific restraint when dealing with big themes and perfectly captures the entrenched hostility to all things foreign ... The intelligent script, magical realist flourishes and impressive production design, meanwhile, make this a standout film.' -- The Scotsman 20030813 'a fond study of the relationship between a Jewish family and its Jamaican neighbours in 1960s England.' -- The Independent 20030813 'Bend it like Botham' -- The Independent 20030813 'Clearly resembles Billy Elliot - another tale of a young boy profoundly at odds with his surroundings.' -- Edinburgh Film Festival 20030813 'A cricketing Billy Elliot aims to hit British fim audiences for six.' -- Sunday Telegraph 20030813
