I defy anyone who grew up in the 70's, especially those who remember the long hot summer of 76, not to love this film. Maybe its just me but it seems to capture perfectly the mood and music of the time. Minnie Driver is superb (and gorgeous, and Welsh) as the drama teacher of a typical 70's comprehensive struggling to direct the end of term school performance, a musical version of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. It is a beautiful, gentle film with great performances, great characters and great music. I recommend watching late night with a few beers.
