16 Years of Alcohol

UK 2003, 97 minutes
Dir. Richard Jobson
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Drama

Feat. Kevin McKidd, Laura Fraser, Susan Lynch

Aroview: A heartfelt spin through the dying memories and reflections of a Scottish hard-man (Kevin McKidd), as he revisits his flawed childhood, youthful conversion to the national liquor and subsequent messy life-story in the skinhead 1970s.

Directed by ex-punk rocker Jobson (of The Skids fame), and adapted from his own prose-poem, he certainly has a way with words and his heart in the right place, but he can't quite manage the distance to avoid it falling into confessional therapy.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) Made for the right reasons the screenplay veered between violence, and these segments got repetitive, and reform which lacked interest. ~Tubbs
