CGiii Comment
From Glam to Punk...a rites of passage for a mixed race boy in 70s England.
The pronounced political correctness is an unbearable burden - the lefty, hypocritical theatre types, the commune dwelling Asian radical...all too much to swallow.
It plods and it fumbles all the way to an unsatisfactory conclusion...did it leave anything behind?
A good soundtrack!
