"Blackpool; the Las Vegas of the north."
This movie is so British. So British that to an outsider you actually remember that England is a place, not just one ambiguous hill of Notting, and dame Judi Dench,and bowler hats.
Really, most of Britain is small towns and stretches of land and shops that still rent VHS tapes. It is more bag of pickled onion crisps and a pint round the pub.
That's the stock I come from, and that is what is showcased in Heartlands.
It were a bit extra depressing, in that, coz it reminded me of me nan, and me uncles, and Bristol, and how sad and simple that life is.
When you're British, you don't dream big, you have a sort of ingrained realism. You work hard, enjoy your time off, and hope to find someone to share your home with.
Michael Sheen is great. This movie is charming.
