John Miller’s Golden Years depicts a group of colourful, elderly characters, who have lived life to the full, yet in private are tackling reoccurring, financial issues. The fondness of the creators towards the characters is apparent, as undoubtedly they are held in high regard – making for a picture that is easy to invest in.

★★★☆☆ If there's one thing to be learned from the Hatton Garden robbery, it's that OAPs are not to be underestimated when it comes to audacious heists. Golden Years is a light-hearted, entertaining crime romp that bounces around the high street banks of middle England at a geriatric shuffle. There are plenty of laughs and mishaps along the way and a modicum of social comment on the treatment of the elderly, too. Director and co-writer John Miller tells the tale of a group of grey-haired pals whose pensions are menaced by recession and the existence of their beloved bowls and bingo club threatened with closure.
