As an old mod, I looked forward to this.
However, Quadrophenia it isn't. Not even near it. Neither is it a future cult classic. It's a pretty average film. The acting isn't too bad for the most part but it doesn't reach the real mod feel.
If you're gonna reach out to mods, make a film that gives them what they want. Proper mod gear, proper styling because that's what's important to mods.
Soundtrack could have been better too.
Overall, pretty average.

Mod film, nope!
A wonderful film
What a lovely heartwarming film. If you are into the mod culture or not, you will love the characters in this film, especially Sacha Parkinson who shines in every scene she is in.
It is hard to believe that this is a micro-budget film due to the excellent cast and superb cinematography that has you immersed in the story of the boy coming to terms with the passing of his father.
A feel-good road trip with an excellent soundtrack will have Paul Weller and The Jam fans smiling from ear to ear!
Go and see this on the big screen whilst you have the chance, you will remember it for a long time.
Two stroke memories
Went in very open minded and came out full of nostalgic tears full of the mod revival of 1979 which personally is me , memories came flooding back not only of the style but the superb sounds cracking little story which came across so stylish and with humour, I thank you for taking me back to my youth for which I love so much happy mod .
