Bolan's Shoes

Heart-warming as well as clever. Bolan's Shoes is a gem of a film that keeps your interest throughout. Yes, there's lots of wonderful T-Rex and Marc Bolan links, but it's the sensitivity of the characters and their stories that keep you focussed on what is really emerging in this beautiful production.

Congratulations to Terri Dwyer & Ian Puleston-Davies for their light touch on a heavy subject: childhood trauma & ripple effect consequences. The minimal dialogue in key scenes was genius.

Superb casting throughout - it's an absolute winner for Leanne Best, Timothy Spall and Mark Lewis Jones. Brilliant selection of the younger selves too.

BAFTA will undoubtedly notice this film for many good reasons. Well done to all at Buffalo Dragon.

Truly wonderful film!!!

Marc Bolan has such a special place in the hearts of many, this film fetched him back to us for a short time.

The main character was fantastic and the storyline kept us all riveted right until the end. Timothy Spall also played an interesting character and there were great scenes filmed at the shrine in Barnes Common, London.

The music of Marc and Trex throughout the film made it worth watching for all fans and for anyone who has not yet been captured by the distinct voice and sound of Marc.

Cannot wait to watch this film again!! Keep a little Marc in your hearts!!!

In slow Brit-drama "Bolan's Shoes" T-Rex fan Leanne Best holds a big secret (even from loving vicar husband Mark Lewis (best performance here - no surprise - top actor)) that catches her up & overwhelms her when she runs into fellow T-Rex nut Timothy Spall. With his second movie as writer (after 2004's "Dirty Filthy Love") and first as director, Ian Puleston-Davis draws out the drama in simplistic melodramatic style, and as the awesome music of T-Rex is really only incidental in the background it doesn't save the film from mediocrity (nor do the good but brief supports from the likes of Mathew Horne & Louis Emerick). Ultimately, it's disappointingly flat.

Brilliantly casted and well written! What a brilliant story fantastic film couldn't take my eyes off! Little twists in story line which was amazing!

Must see film 100% One of many British films made and what a great cast! Timothy Spall was amazing and producers and director spot on! If your a massive supporter of British films you must watch this.

I won't say much about the story line as you need to see this for yourself you will be hooked in seeing this and the twists that have been brilliantly written.

Produced by the brilliant Terry Dwyer who herself appeared also Matthew Horne also stared.

A lovely film with some great acting. Enjoyed the story, bit of everything in it. Whatever's you do don't miss the first 5 minutes, it sets up the whole story.

The two lead actors were very believable despite their obvious age difference. Bit of a bombshell near the end which I wasn't expecting at all.

Overall it's definitely worth a watch, you won't be disappointed.

Would have liked to have heard more of Marc Bolans music, maybe whole songs rather than just snippets , but this didn't retract from the film at all.

Hopefully more to come from the collaboration between producers and director.
