Our take

As tributes to the power of friendship, imagination and Sly Stallone’s woodland warrior go, Son of Rambow takes some beating. Rich in period detail and boasting a spirited pair of performances from its young leads, it’s an alluring tribute to the joys of amateur filmmaking in the video-store era.
