Bolan's Shoes (2023)
Very Good Film
If you go to this expecting it to be a tribute to Marc Bolan, you'll be very disappointed. There are probably around 4 tracks that you hear a bit off, as the story is loosely woven around a 1976 T Rex concert and its aftermath.
The story is superbly written, superbly told, superbly acted. Timothy Spall is sublime in his portrayal of Jimmy. Leanne Best is equally superb in her portrayal of the lead character, her acting is equally as good as Spall. Support actors are very good, with Mark Lewis-Jones (I last saw him in Lindon's Burning) as the vicar is great having the best line of the film "it comes with the job."
Thoroughly enjoyable film, recommended for all (even if like my wife of 40 years, you don't like Bolan's music) and the twist towards the end caused a collective intake of breath in the cinema.
