Music, dance, drugs, friendship and love, it all comes up in this nice film about Northern Soul, a genre unknown to me.

However, I found the playing time a bit on the long side, which made it difficult for me to keep my attention dance after dance.

In 1974's desolate Wigan, John [Elliot James Langridge] and Matt [Josh Whitehouse] become friends through their shared love of soul music. Together they travel the area in search of rare soul gems and dream of a career as DJs and journey to the Mecca of soul music: America! Their first parties are a huge success, but Matt's quirky presentation style and the influence of drugs threaten to ruin both their ambitions and their friendship. A passionately made musical drama about friendship and music and dance as means of escape from everyday reality with excellent acting across the board and a truly sublime soundtrack that will make it hard to sit still. And honestly, why would you?

Nice impression of Northern Soul, a typical British subculture. Naturally, a lot of emphasis on the characteristic fashion, drugs, music and in this case, especially a lot of dancing.

The difficult thing about these types of films, however, is that there also has to be a drama structure involved somewhere. And it is not very special. In that respect it is a bit reminiscent of Saturday Night Fever.
