  If I want to watch an angsty, akward teenager for 2 hours I can just look in a mirror.

  Literally just a ninety-minute long reminder of the fact that Morrissey is an arrogant, insufferable prick

  "Stop being such a mardarse"

  The fact that this is almost literally the first thing said in England Is Mine tells you that it is indeed a biopic of the early years of one Steven Patrick Morrissey. It's up to you whether you regard him as an infuriating miserabilist or genius. Or perhaps both.

  I approached England Is Mine with some trepidation - not because it's 'unauthorised' (would we ever expect Morrissey to give his blessing?) but because it's had some pretty terrible reviews. To which I must say, where they watching the same film as me?

  I think where people have gone wrong is in expecting the film to be an out and out Morrissey biopic - and, to…

  Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before, but this biopic of the early life of Steven Patrick Morrissey is one that almost left me Asleep. I almost Started Something I Couldn't Finish here, from the early minutes you could tell that Barbarism Begins At Home, and that despite the fact that he was a Handsome Devil, the Panic because he was Girl Afraid meant he Never Had No One Ever. Work is a Four Letter Word for young Steve too, who had more women in his life than I had ever imagined, but These Things Take Time, and it wouldn't be long before he found his confidence. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others, but apparently That…

  Review by davidehrlich ★★

  A handsome little biopic that’s sopping wet with the same clichés that its whiny hero so adamantly disavows, Mark Gill’s “England Is Mine” distills the early days of one Steven Patrick Morrissey into an anonymous coming-of-age story that — if not for its keen sense of place — could really be about any mopey white boy whose talents are dulled by torpor. The film begins in the late ’70s, when young Steven is still living in his family’s splintered Stretford council house and writing flippant concert reviews for some local music rags; it ends a few years later, before he and Johnny Marr have yet to record their first track as The Smiths. This isn’t a portrait of an iconoclastic…

  when making a biopic you should probably stop to consider whether the person it’s about is actually boring as fuck or not. jodie comer, i did this for you.

  Review by Matt ★★ 9

  It turns out that, even when being portrayed by an actor, Morrissey is still a pretentious grade-a megacunt.

  Honestly, every time this arsehole launched into one of his ‘woe is me, I’m such a genius, everyone is beneath me’ monologues, I couldn't help but smirk at the sheer stupidity of it all. Avoid.
