Great film. Unusual to see English working class history portrayed in a sympathetic light ..

I love the film. I'll be honest I have not seen it in years - due for a rewatch sometime! It has a more realistic, gritty and emotional edge to it than say The Full Monty (which I do love in its own right and have watched MANY times!! hehe) whilst still retaining the humour. Oh that does it, I'm gonna have to post Full Monty now. Let's make it Yorkshire film day!

It's an emotional rollercoaster, acting is out of this world and the brass band music is a pure joy. Cinema at its finest. I haven't watched this in years but will have to hunt it out. Just make sure no one can see you for the hospital and final scenes, dust in your eyes stuff 😢

One of the great films of the '90s and still holds up today. Pete Postlethwaite is brilliant, the band playing to Pete's character whilst in hospital and his acceptance speech at the band competition finals are cinema at its finest 😭
