Northern Soul Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
A revealing if disappointingly thin and histrionic drama about a couple of 18-year-old guys who gamble their dreams and future on riding a wave of youthful passion for soul music.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
Where this movie comes up short is in bringing any kind of real life to its bildungsroman side.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The first feature from writer-director Elaine Constantine, herself a Northern soul veteran, the film follows a fairly familiar innocent-led-astray storyline.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
The film has a ferocious, shaggy energy that mirrors that of the testosterone-, amphetamine- and adrenaline-pumped boys.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Funny and feisty, gritty and sometimes grim, this first feature from the photographer Elaine Constantine delivers a sweaty snapshot of a very specific time and place.
Village Voice
Abbey Bender
While the dynamics of John and Matt's troubled friendship are nothing new, Northern Soul does a fine job of creating their world ...
Variety
Dennis Harvey
The convincing atmosphere, performances and soundtrack of vintage Yank R&B obscurities make this an enjoyable throwback to a scene whose influence if not its fame eventually traveled far.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
This project was clearly a labor of love for Constantine, but it is hard not to conclude that her original documentary idea might have had a lot more passion than this flat-footed fictional treatment.
The Playlist
Christopher Schobert
"Northern Soul" feels driven by youthful energy.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Newcomer Langridge does an excellent job of making John grow up through the course of the film, subtly moving him from mouse to man through a gradual increase in confidence.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
It's best to not quibble with the details and just enjoy the sights and sounds of this period drama.
Contactmusic.com
Rich Cline
A drama set around a cultural movement in 1970s Britain, this film captures the period beautifully, but its story is so underdeveloped that it leaves the fresh young cast without proper characters or relationships to play.
