Eye For Film gives MEGAHEAVY 5 stars

Eye For Film: MEGAHEAVY is touching, captivating, driving, and brilliant

June 2010 - The online film magazine EYE FOR FILM gives 5 stars to MEGAHEAVY and writes:

 

"Megaheavy is old-fashioned in places, not least with parkas abounding and Jolly's stacks of vinyl and lovingly lettered mix-tapes, but that's to its credit. It's touching, captivating, driving, brilliant; not necessarily light fare but not overpowering, and building to a soaring crescendo, it's worth being carried away by."
