lovely film,I would move to Edinburgh if I did not stay here already.
I don't like musicals and I dislike the PROCLAIMERS because they are Scottish Nationalists and christians but I like their music and am an Edinburgh native.
I went to see this film and was overcome by the emotional impact it had on me,the film is a love letter to Edinburgh,I don't think it has ever looked better on the big screen.
If you know the city you have to try and stop location spotting because the hospitals are not hospitals and the bars are in Glasgow.
So the film looks great,and you forget how many good songs the PROCALIMERS have done over the years.
As for the cast,it is almost perfect,the 2 young guys have been in other things but I don't recall seeing the 2 nurses in much else but they good in their parts.
I have no issues with Jane Horrocks accent,but why not make her English and save her the trouble of doing an accent?,well to answer my own question,she has been in Edinburgh for 25 years so she would have a mixed accent where ever she came from.
Why mention that Mullan's character is from Glasgow?
To go back to locations,I would love to know where the Silver wedding party takes place,and where is the family flat?
The hospital is actually Edinburgh University in George Square I think
