It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

A thinly plotted movie with comic moments that mostly don't work, and fight scenes that fail to convince ( except the last one). Margi Clarke is fine in the lead, Ken Hutchinson good too but Carroll Baker pretty much steals every scene she's in, she's deserving of a better film.

Whether you enjoy BLONDE FIST or not really depends on how much you like working class comedies made in Liverpool. Me, I'm rather indifferent to their charms, and I found this story - posited as THELMA & LOUISE meets ROCKY - pretty drawn out and unengaging. It's a star vehicle for the forgotten TV starlet Margi Clarke, directed by her own brother, but she gives a lame performance here and comes across as cold and unsympathetic throughout. The ridiculous story is described as a boxing drama, but such moments are few and far between and very unconvincing when they do appear. A scene in which a character gets hit and you hear cartoonish bird tweet noises really sets the level here. I laughed at exactly two funny scenes: Clarke's fight with a youthful Tina Malone has some good dialogue (and Stephen Graham in one of his first roles), and the prison chat in which Clarke's friend says she wants to make something of her life, by becoming a prostitute, are amusing. The rest? A struggle, if I'm honest.

This is probably the worst film of all time. Margi Clarke not to be outdone is also the worst actress of all time, so quite a good fit. Honestly it is terrible.

This is one of my favourite films of all times. I've watched it dozens of times. The plot of the film is probably less important than the brilliant one-liners and cameos, although maybe you have to be British to understand the subtle but incandescently funny subtexts that run through the whole film. Margi is an excellent actress although I guess her in depth experience of the Liverpool psyche means she was playing a role that was kind of like just being herself a lot of the time maybe?You have to realise that not all the lines are meant literally. Like in the fight scene at the beginning of the programme (has me in stitches every time I watch it). The wonderful Margi Clarke gets fisty cuffs with the superb actress Tina Malone. Tina warns Margi "Now GIT... Before I throw a bucket of p&*^ss water over ya". This is a classically hilarious line. Please don't construe from this that all people in Northern England keep a bucket of urine water handy, ready to throw over aggressive strangers.:)A
