Sunshine on Leith 2013

Sunshine on Leith is based on the sensational stage hit of the same name featuring music by popfolk band The Proclaimers. The film follows the stories of Davy and Ally who have to relearn how to live life in Edinburgh after coming home from serving in Afghanistan. Both struggle to learn to live a life outside the army and to deal with the everyday struggles of family jobs and relationships.

Review

Went to an advanced screening of this film with a Q an A with Dexter Fletcher at the end.

Well what a great film the musical scenes were really well done and it just felt that the cast were really enjoying themselves. Good all round performances from everyone nobody stole the show just everybody contributed their own accomplished style. My personal opinion is that its a really hard job to produce a musical as it can so easily look amateurish Mama Mia succeeded and so does Sunshine on Leith. The locations were superb especially the closing scene where it appeared as though all of the population of Edinburgh was present and joining in.

The Q and A was very informative and I will leave you to spot the walk on appearances of Dexter and the Proclaimers.

A great night out well done everyone who had a hand in this production.
