Cemetery Junction is a nice little, quintessentially British affair, a 70s period-set romantically-infused, comedically-incidental drama which offers up Ricky Gervaiss own personal take on life within the (then small) town of Reading. Bursting with fresh Brit talent and brought to life by their convincing performances, it works well both as a nod to times gone and a reflective medium for the modern age. Its neither weighty nor overtly substantial, and will likely leave you pleasantly entertained for the duration, rather than pondering or excited for long after, but it is definitely one of Gervaiss best projects, and is worth a watch.
On Region Free UK Blu-ray it comes with adequate and unglamorous video and audio which is perfectly suitable for the material as well as a plethora of quality extras that fans of the film will definitely want to check out. If youve seen it and like it, then this is purchase a no-brainer must-buy, but newcomers who are drawn by either the Ricky Gervais label, or the more comedic angle of this offering, should realise that this is definitely more of a coming-of-age drama, than a romantic or comedic film. But that does not make it any less enjoyable. Worth a rent if youre interested.
