The rush of the 1990s rave scene is perfectly captured in black and white in this enjoyable coming-of-age drama. Jonno has reached a moment in his life when he needs to move on from his small Scottish home town. But his best friend Spanner seems destined to remain there. Understanding that they stand at a parting of the ways, they decide to have one last blast at an upcoming rave. Brian Welsh’s authentic drama perfectly captures the early 1990s rave scene and in Christian Ortega and Lorn Macdonald he finds his perfect leads.
