Oil City Confidential

Authentic feel to this good-looking biopic of the ill-fated band.

Julien Temple's rockumentary Oil City Confidential looks like a series of Martin Parr photographs of the British by the seaside, and then segues into thrashing guitars on the Seventies New York stage.

I don't think [Julien Temple's] ever made a film as good, and purely insightful as this one.

A clearly affectionate homage to the Canvey Island foursome whose incendiary R&B paved the way for punk.
