Review: Shane Meadows' Somers Town

Best known for his bleak and violent previous films, This is England and Dead Man's Shoes, filmmaker Shane Meadows makes an uncharacteristically charming departure. In Somers Town, two teenage boys become friends. Shy Polish emigre Marek (Piotr Jagiello) and brutish, homeless Tomo (Thomas Turgoose) seem like unlikely companions, but after their paths cross in a small coffee shop in London, they can't seem to shake one another. Somers Town screens for two weeks at the Film Forum in New York City from July 15 - July 28 before a DVD release by art house distributor Film Movement. Read Marcy's review.
