Description

Relive the summer of 1976 in this heartwarming British musical from the producer of “Billy Elliott” featuring songs by David Bowie, The Beach Boys, Nick Drake, ELO, and The Byrds. Minnie Driver plays Viv, a fiery high school drama teacher determined to fire up her hormonal, apathetic students by putting on the best end-of-year show the school has seen: a glam-infused rock musical based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest. But as the Welsh summer begins to heat up, can she overcome the teenage distractions of sex and drugs with great rock n’ roll? Find out in this fantastic, rousing high school musical drama that will have you tapping your toes with glee.

  • Really Enjoyed This Movie

    Being a person who "came of age" in the mid to late 70"s (here in the US), I really connected with the feel of this movie and the teenage "angst" that went along with being the age of these characters .Aneurin Barnard in particular, who plays the role of Davy has it all..... the looks, the acting talent and a wonderful singing voice.Currently, he can be seen on the Starz channel's "The White Queen", where he plays the role of Richard III.
  • Loved this movie!

    I felt like i was transported. The time the place, the emotions associated with being a teenager...it all rang so true. I also thought several times that the movie was going in one direction, but then it never went there, and I was glad. I think the possibilities were there, but 'boundaries' were maintained. All in all, beautiful. Lovely to listen to and lovely to watch, as well!
  • Fun and fresh

    It takes about 5 to 10 min to get used to the Welsh accent, but after that, this film is a really fun and fresh indie. Minnie steals the show. She looks great and who knew she could sing like that ?! Highly recommend.
