  1. Herman handled his script cleanly and cast the picture well. [09Jun1997 Pg 30]

    If you're in a triumph of the human spirit frame of mind, this is your cup of dark, sweet tea.
  3. 30
    Trimmed to an hour, and tucked between a documentary on snails and an episode of Coronation Street, writer-director Mark Herman's Brassed Off could prove lively watching indeed. As it is, however, his pedestrian if sweetly well-meaning inspirational about a coal-mining town done in by Thatcherism is too long, too laborious and 15 years too late.
