Cheddon & West Monkton Film Club – Fisherman’s Friends: One and All
After achieving major-label success, shanty-singing group Fisherman’s Friends should be riding high. But leader Jim (James Purefoy) is sinking into drink and depression after the death of his father, the label is unconvinced by their second album, and new arrival in town Aubrey (Imelda May) is a sign of changing times. Can the band clean up and make it to the Pyramid Stage at Glasto?
“The plot is largely predictable and the comedy decidedly choppy. But a rousing soundtrack and Purefoy’s touching performance keep this gentle feel-good drama afloat.” Express
“James Purefoy brings grizzled warmth to Jim, and his explorations of grief and growing attraction to Aubrey provide genuine heart.” Empire
