One weird thing about me is that my rating for a film is almost never more than three stars away from its average rating.

Quadrophenia (1979)
Basically the British version of Mean Streets
26 January 2021 - 2 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
This is basically the British version of Martin Scorsese's film Mean Streets. They're both 70's films about young gang members in a major city taking drugs, partying, getting into fights etc. Also, they both don't have much of a storyline, taking more of a slice of life approach. They even have similar soundtracks. And of course, (minor spoilers) things don't go well for the protagonists at the end, but the endings are a bit ambiguous.
There are some differences though. Mean Streets is a bit more experimental, feels more like a documentary, and it's scenes feel a bit more disconnected with each other.
But overall I'd say I liked them about the same, so if you liked Mean Streets you may like Quadrophenia, and vice versa.
