What starts off as an out-dated high school film set in Scotland about a young man named Gregory and his crush on the new female soccer player on his team turns into a charming and subtle work of art. It's really a special little film with that right touch of humor and originality to help it stand out. Bill Forsyth would continue with this unique style of film making with Local Hero two years later. There's even a sequel to this film that I'll have to check out someday called Gregory's 2 Girls. Mr. Forsyth might not have made a lot of films in his long career but when they're this good who cares. Grade: A-
