| | Interview: A coming-of-age classic - Scottish movie, 'Small Faces' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | In Small Faces' chilling ice-rink finale, one of Lex's brothers dies, too, but the falls of Charlie and Malky are just as crucial to his rite of passage. |
 | | Small Faces contrives to be reminiscent of both the dour Scottish TV dramas written by Peter MacDougall, notably 1979's Just a Boy's Game, which starred the rock star Frankie Miller, and Bill Forsyth's evocations of Glasgow's unlikely urban magic: That Sinking Feeling (1979), Gregory's Girl (1981), and Comfort and Joy (1984). |
 | | The plaintive anthems of this miraculous little movie are Lorna's Gaelic lament for her murdered boy, and the eldritch wails that accompany Lex's brutal journey - wails as haunting as those on the streets of Glasgow at half past ten on any Saturday night. |
