Dead Man's Shoes and This Is England director Shane Meadows takes the helm for this monochromatic childhood drama concerning two young friends living in London, and their efforts not to turn out like their aimless fathers. Tomo has just turned 16, and as a result he's no longer under parental care. Eager to escape the Midlands and seek out a better life in London, Tomo sets out for the big city and strikes up a friendship with Polish immigrant Marek while traversing the streets of Somers Town. Marek is a quiet and sensitive boy who harbors a growing interest in photography and still lives with his father. But Marek's father is a hopeless drunk, and doesn't even notice when his son invites Tomo to share their apartment. Most days, Tomo and Marek are content to pass earning some quick cash from an eccentric neighbor, wandering the streets, and admiring a pretty French waitress named Maria who works at a nearby café. Eventually, the two become obsessed with the girl and begin tracking her every move. But one day Maria simply vanishes, leaving the boys to feel as if they have lost their muse. Later that night, Tomo and Marek decide to dull their pain by sharing a bottle. Of course, it's this very same night that Marek's father discovers his son has taken in a new roommate, and Tomo is swiftly evicted. As a result, the growing bond between the two boys is put to the ultimate test. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Somers Town
New Review For Movie Somers Town
Turgoose continues to convince as a kid whose personality wavers daily if not hourly, while Jagiello playfully suggests that Marek is becoming the perfect straight man.John Hartl-Seattle Times
Somers Town is a small-scale jewel that will surprise you with its buoyant look at blighted lives.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle
Somers Town is a funny and endearing character comedy whose extra-brief, 70-minute running time proves perfectly adequate for its slender, episodic story.
Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
However thin, the story of these rootless youths, estranged from mothers and native cities, has a certain universality and appeal.
Carrie Rickey-Philadelphia Inquirer
A small but important film about small but important lives, the latest drama from Shane Meadows further confirms that more people should know about this gifted director.
Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News
It is proof that there are all sorts of teenage lives going on in Britain, and sometimes, their most magical moments take place on dead-end streets.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
Shares a gentle, observant tone with the early films of Ken Loach.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
A verite touch of observation, Somers Town is kind and airy, a perfect cinematic meal for someone in need of small pleasures, explored through Meadows's undeniable taste in locations and near-masterful work with actors.
Brian Orndorf-DVDTalk.com
...Meadows' method of working with improvised scenes shot in long takes gives it a sense of emotional truth which is lacking in many more ambitious films.
Sarah Boslaugh-Playback:stl
Nothing much happens, but its workaday plot lines are universally relatable -- the key to keeping this slight film engaging.
Tricia Olszewski-Washington City Paper
Somers Town is gentle, funny, blue-collar humanism, much like the early films of Ken Loach.
Gerald Peary-Boston Phoenix
Meadows gives his film so much forward thrust it feels like a road movie as it follows the ramblings of his two young leads.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
Shot in the same beautifully desolate black-and-white as Meadows' boxing film TwentyFourSeven, Somers Town takes on the feel of dreamlike instant nostalgia.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
As in all of Meadows's films, Somers Town emphasizes the importance of character and particularly of camaraderie amongst male characters--here, teenagers who nick clothes from the local laundry, get drunk in the park, and furtively investigate masculinity
Leo Goldsmith-Reverse Shot
Sweet...at times reminiscent of "Y Tu Mama Tambien."
Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest
What Somers Town lacks in story arc, it makes up for in charm, as Meadows and company create an endearing and thoroughly enjoyable portrait of a young British bromance.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
It may seem slight but Meadows is a master of the art of revealing human foibles and weaknesses, which means the film lingers long after its extremely modest running time. A wee gem.
Richard Mowe-Boxoffice Magazine
Somers Town is not Shane Meadows' best film, but it has his finest qualities: an appreciation of British working-class life as detailed as Ken Loach's, characterizations as realistic as Mike Leigh's and an interest in adolescent male impudence and longing
Armond White-New York Press
