I don't want to disappoint Magda, but I really disliked this film.
This will sound bizarre to the English posters here, me being a southerner, but I actually lived in a mining village, Silverdale Staffordshire, throughout the strike depicted in the film.
I found the portrayal of Working Class people in the film stereotypical, patronising and inaccurate.
I was annoyed by the continual swearing throughout the film, particularly by women.
I'd be interested in Jon's view on this as I believe he comes from a mining community.
