But it's so winningly authentic in its depiction of early adolescent hormones, friendship,
love and rock «n» roll, and so genuinely punk in spirit (there's something especially defiant in making a
film about a punk band set in the 1980s, when it was deeply out of fashion) that it lingers in the memory long past the end credits (which are also
glorious).
However, plot threads aside, there is still much to
love about the auteurs latest showcase, and none more so than the
films glorious cast, delightful cinematography and joyous soundtrack.
