This film is another great piece to add to the ever growing collection of art by Tracey Emin. I do not find it necessary to be intrigued by her work (outside of the film medium) in order to enjoy this film. Granted, this film is not your typical flashy Hollywood Blockbuster, but if that is what you are looking for than so be it.
I do not find the film do be cryptic in any way. Yes, there is metaphorical imagery, but take it for however you want it. It tells a wonderful story about a group of girls growing up in Margate. And it is shot so wonderfully that I felt as if I were a Peeping Tom who was just on the outside looking in on these girl's lives.
It is unfortunate this film is rated so poorly by everyone on here. Maybe that's just part of the dumbing down of the world and people need to open up their minds a bit more. Not everything has to be Pirates of The Caribbean to qualify as a film. And now I'm actually quite sorry I even mentioned that film in the same write up as Top Spot.
A wonderful Limited Edition DVD was released by Tartan Video. I highly recommend picking it up before it sells out.
