In the end, there is something just a little too formulaic about the film.

Rated: 2/5

Feels oddly detached from the compelling genre of music it claims to advocate.

Rated: 2/5

Shadows on the Wall

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.

Rated: 3/5

Daily Express (UK)

Everything about SoulBoy is predictable and yet it manages to deliver a passably entertaining little slice of British entertainment.

Radio Times

It's more than a little clichd, with a disco-floor bully who's straight out of panto, but the music and period detail will help take your mind off such deficiencies.

Rated: 3/5

The story is itself is not that much of a surprise, girl loves boy, boy loves other girl but in the end they find each other, seen a 1000 times...but what is really outstanding is the music and the dance scenes, if you are into Northern Soul, this movie will make your day! Keep the faith!

A very effective recreation of mid 70s Midlands & Northern Soul youth culture. Nicely characterised with a well balanced cast and full of well thought out period touches. Short and sweet!
