Our take
A testament to the unifying power of art in turbulent times, rock music becomes an unlikely force for peace in this energetic biopic of Terri Hooley, the godfather of Belfast punk. While full of feel-good vibes, the film also authentically captures the unease of 1970s conflict-torn Northern Ireland.
