Read the review here.

In 1970’s Manchester, Steven Morrissey (Jack Lowden – Dunkirk, A United Kingdom, ’71), an introverted, uncompromising teenager, finds himself frustrated with his working-class existence.

With dreams of a successful music career being dampened by his run-of-the-mill job at the local tax office, Steven finds solace in the city’s underground gig scene where he meets Linder Sterling (Jessica Brown Findlay – Downton Abbey, The Riot Club) – an intelligent, self-assured artist – who encourages him to make his ideas of superstardom a reality.

“Female characters are of key importance to the story, most notably Linder Sterling (Downton Abbey’s Jessica Brown Findlay). An artist and figure on the punk and post punk scene, Sterling was a catalyst in Morrissey’s creative awakening. Thanks to Brown Findlay’s warm performance, Linder is a charismatic presence in the film; through her eyes we get to see beneath the intellectual armour that Morrissey has built around himself.” – review Wendy Ide, ScreenDaily.

Culminating in his first meeting with Johnny Marr, ENGLAND IS MINE is directed by Academy Award and BAFTA Award nominated Mark Gill (The Voorman Problem) and produced by Baldwin Li (The Voorman Problem) and Orian Williams (Control).

England Is Mine is in cinemas August 4.
