His extraordinary feel for the English language, the raucous energy of his performances, his vulnerability and his viciousness, his rage and its origins, his long-suffering family and entourage... They are all here along with plenty of his songs. A really punchy film, I thought - much better than your average linear biopic. Since it's not a full-life biopic, it means we get no more than a mention of his art-school days and his acting career - there's simply too much in his life to fit into one film. So let's hope there'll be another film about Ian Dury in the future to stand alongside this one!
