Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 09/09/2010
3/5
Even though the plot of this 1970s-set drama is a bit simplistic, the film is sweet and surprisingly dramatic, holding our attention because of the energetic, good-looking cast. Plus all those groovy outfits and songs. Go to Full Review
Daily Express (UK) 09/07/2010
Everything about SoulBoy is predictable and yet it manages to deliver a passably entertaining little slice of British entertainment. Go to Full Review
Brian Pendreigh Radio Times 09/02/2010
3/5
