ReviewsLos Angeles Times - ...A ROOM FOR ROMEO BRASS is a classic coming-of-age story that swiftly and compellingly assumes the form of a parable of innocence and evil..., Box Office - ...Meadows develops some strong dramatic ideas about contemporary British life..., Movieline - ...Heartbreakingly truthful....Extraordinary child actors..., Chicago Sun-Times - o.32 - ...Meadows seems fascinated by the happenings of everyday life....Effortless in the way it insinuates itself into these families, touching in the ways it shows how fiercely Romeo and Knocks are...
Additional InformationIn A ROOM FOR ROMEO BRASS, two teenage boys, Romeo (Andrew Shrim) and Knocks (Ben Marshall), whose families live in the same housing development in a small town in the Midlands, England, share a unique friendship. Making jokes that nobody else understands, fighting over little things, being brutally honest with each other, the boys' behavior epitomizes eye-rolling teenage smugness. They both have family problems. Knock's dad is a wierdo who completely ignores him. Romeo's dad is an angry brute. However, the boys seem to get along just fine. That is, until a stranger, Morrell (a truly beguiling Paddy Consadine), appears in town and stirs up trouble. He threatens Knocks, then dominates Romeo. He coerces Romeo into setting up dates with his sexy sister, and challenges him to strangely aggressive martial arts matches. Meanwhile, Knocks has undergone a major operation on his bad back, and is bedridden at home. Romeo is lost and confused. Just when it seems that the boys have grown apart for good, a tragedy brings them, their families, and the whole neighborhood together again.<BR>A gray and moody film with a biting narrative, A ROOM FOR ROMEO BRASS features some gorgeous photography, emotional performances, and most of all, a drifty, perfectly assembled sound track.
