The kitchen sink drama updated to the sink estate drama. Realism in British films fizzled out in the mid 60's, made something of a comeback (though not entirely successfully in Get Carter), came back with a vengeance in Scum and Bloody Kids and then became overly maudlin in Mike Leigh's works of the 90's. Dead Man's Shoes brilliantly resurrects the genre.
The plot, superb though it is, is secondary to the realistic portray of mundane life in a deprived small midlands town. Dingy houses with broken furniture, empty pot noodle containers and empty cans are an accurate portrayal of the lifestyle of the white British underclass (think Shannon Matthews), and the biggest budget in the world would not have improved on Meadows vision. You can almost smell the stale Stella and cheap cannabis.
The dialogue is particularly well observed. Contrary to what some other posters think, people do actually talk over each other, particularly in confused situations.
The acting is excellent throughout - there is not one duff performance.
This is not only a brilliant revenge story, but a brilliant insight into the lives of people perpetuating their meaningless grim lives through drug taking and bullying.
