Perfectly Frank

A brilliantly British musical with soul, sass, and seagulls.

Perfectly Frank is the kind of film that wraps around your heart like a warm coat on a windy Southport morning. Set in the faded but fondly remembered glamour of the Southport seafront, it tells the story of Frank, a quiet, musically gifted young man who cares for his ailing grandfather - a beautifully tender relationship that anchors the film with genuine emotional weight.

Enter loud, chaotic, and completely irresistible: a foul-mouthed but lovable Scouser who barges into Frank's life like a karaoke ballad at last orders. Their unlikely friendship - and eventual romance - gives the story its spark, its swagger, and a whole lot of laughs.

The dialogue snaps with wit, the characters feel utterly real, and the soundtrack is an eclectic mix of emotional ballads and Northern bangers that'll stay in your head long after the credits roll. Imagine Billy Elliot meets The Full Monty, with a splash of Glee and a Scouse sense of humour that could raise the dead - or at least get Grandad tapping his feet again.

It's a film about finding your voice, fighting for your future, and seeing the beauty in broken places. Southport has never looked so full of possibility - or so musical.

Perfectly Frank is a story about love in all its forms - romantic, familial, and self-accepting. It'll make you laugh & cry.

Perfectly Frank leans into its local character, offering a warmth and authenticity that brings out genuine emotion. Grounded in a distinctly British spirit, it's full of heart and delivers a deeply moving experience that lingers!

The care in the storytelling and the sincerity of the performances make it a powerful, heartfelt tribute to the healing power of music.

It is a film that feels truly personal and lovingly made - proof that stories, when told with honesty, depth, and heart, can leave a lasting and meaningful impression!

If you're looking for something sincere, soulful, and refreshingly grounded, Perfectly Frank is well worth your time. Go watch it!

This is such a quality shoestring film that you can tell the cast and crew really cared for. I'm not normally one for musicals but this one captured me very much and the attention to detail was brilliant from start to finish.

I appreciated the showcasing of Southport in a lovingly, nostalgic ode sort of way which isn't usually reflected on screen and thought the musical number was spectacular. Thought the set design was fantastic and the costume design too.

One thing I have to bring up is the cast, their chemistry and the amount of passion they brought to the project really elevated this for me.

In it's full context this def deserves 9/10 stars.

Incredible story, brilliantly executed. What a huge team effort this must have been to make - big well done to the whole team and the creativity behind this amazing production. Huge thumbs up and hope there will be a part two coming our way eventually.

A beautifully rendered piece of cinematic lushness- sweet, warm, moving, poignant, uplifting. One of the best films I have seen in ages- the fact that it was made on 1 million of the budget of Snow White makes it even more of a sensational achievement. Thoroughly recommended.. Best watched at home with all the family. With a large box of tissues. A special mention for the lovely music and choreography. And some terrific performances from the cast. Very natural, very affecting. And full marked the cinematography for turning Southport into a place of romance, mystery, wonder, poignancy and love.
