"ATL" is refreshing without going all goody two-shoe, its four friends and their ties to Atlanta not unlike the bunch of guys in Barry Levinson's Baltimore "Diner."
In their confusion over leaving one part of their life to move on to an uncertain future, they could be the kids in "American Graffiti" or "Diner."
It’s hard to avoid comparisons between Brian Welsh‘s Beats and a touchstone of Scotland’s depiction in modern cinema: Danny Boyle‘s Trainspotting .
A snappy, scrappy, straining-at-the-leash coming-of-ager from bleakest Scotland, Brian Welsh’s “Beats” takes place in 1994 — two years before the release of “Trainspotting,” though 23 years on, it feels like something of an heir to Danny Boyle’s Nineties yardstick.
Human Traffic, sure, and a few scattered scenes in Trainspotting, the Berlin-set Victoria and the recent French drama BPM.
