13 April 2008: Bristol Cinema - Son of Rambow
This joyous tale is set during a long 1980's summer where the newly released Rambo has a dramatic effect on two young boys who form an unlikely friendship as they create their own bootleg movie masterpiece ... Son of Rambow!
'Peppered with 80s pop culture references, the outlandish tale of friendship also features a 'stud' French exchange student and Eric Sykes in a glorious cameo. Everything has a ring of truth, from the friendship and fallings out between Will and Lee to the school staffroom sniping. The script sizzles with humour, but more importantly ... it carries an emotional weight. Keeping the cast small means the characters of Will and Lee are well fleshed out and, though firmly rooted in British culture, their experiences are universal.'
'Son of Rambow is just lovely; sweet, very funny, feel-good entertainment, with first class performances by its two pint sized leads. Will Poulter, especially, is a born comic with a wicked little face, perfectly reflecting, his casual cruelty to Will. Their guerrilla film-making adventures are hilarious. Garth Jennings' observes the world of the 1980s with searing but affectionate accuracy: Cinemas full of smokers. A sixth-form common room that's more like a school disco, with drunk kids rushing out to throw up. A giant car phone. And the freedom that modern children seem to be denied - an innocence despite their worldliness.'
'Much like last year's top pickup at Sundance, Little Miss Sunshine, Son of Rambow starts with an appealing concept and through cracks in the characters' armour there lies a huge, beating heart that leads to a crescendo of joviality so flawlessly accomplished that your mental applause sign may light up before its all over.'
'a twinkle-eyed gaze at the joys of DIY filmmaking, replete with sly, spry asides on star power, the cult of celebrity and auterist cinema vs. filmmaking by committee. It even finds time to poke fun at the French New Wave courtesy of foreign exchange student Didier ( Jules Sitruk). First and foremost, though, this shoestring charmer is an ode to the wonder of friendship and the power of imagination, a salute to the courage and chutzpah of the underdog. Son of Rambo? Son of Rocky, more like.'
'Modest in scale but mighty in heart, Son Of Rambow ... consistently displays a rough-hewn, ramshackle charm that's impossible to resist.'
