Rent Cemetery Junction (2010)

Funny and moving!! - Cemetery Junction review by CP Customer

Didn't know much about this film when I rented it but I was not let down at all by it. Very funny throughout yet moving also. Captures the 1970's life by factory workers very well and can see the desperation from some for a better life. I was quite tired when I started watching this film but by the end I was wide awake and had many conversations about it after. 5 out of 5

Disappointing but oh so British - Cemetery Junction review by AB

A typical British film with subtle humour, nostalgia and quaint observations about the rut that a lot of people find themselves in. A lot of people will nod their head in agreement with the background storyline about the futility of life, especially as seen from restrospective point of view from us 'grown-ups', whereas these characters at least have the gumption to do something about their situations.

I must disagree with the review that publicises this film; "hilarious" it is not - depressing, yes; funny - no; amusing, quaint, quintessentially British - yes

Period comedy. - Cemetery Junction review by JD

This combined a really good period drama based in the 70's with a warm, British gentle humour. The 70's were accurately portrayed and the humour neither hammed up nor too gentle, some laugh out loud but mainly subtle. For example an old man given a cut glass bowl for 24 years of crushingly dull service sits glumly by it, midway between regret, and anger at underachieving when a yob flicks his cigarette ash into it. The faintest of reactions midway between anger and resignation. The sort of comedy that wouldn't sell in Hollywood.
