England is Mine

Scottish actor Jack Lowden (Fighting With My Family, Calibre) stars alongside English actors Jodie Comer and Jessica Brown Findlay in this muted, and fittingly-mopey biopic of strong-minded musician Morrisey. Mancunian director Mark Gill deftly manages to capture something of the soul of his hometown in the 70s and that of his brooding subject.
