Season 10, Episode 5
10/10
Masterpiece
30 June 2004
Take no notice of Dinky Donk, who has put annoyingly silly reviews of Peter McDougall plays on here. If you read his comments you'd get a very misguided idea of what this piece is about.

Just a Boy's Game is a masterpiece, a low-key story of life in a depressed Greenock, when the only ambition for the hard-cases is to be legendary hard-cases. Miller's performance is first-class, and Mackenzie's direction faultless.

This is quite possibly the finest Scottish film ever made with the exception of Just Another Saturday.

Faultless.
