Madness: Take It or Leave It
The Garden Cinema, Parker Street 39-41, WC2B 5PQ London, Holborn
About
Dave Robinson’s gritty and hilarious feature, shot on the streets, pubs and clubs of North London with the band playing themselves, stands alongside A Hard Day’s Night and Slade in Flame as one of the great British pop movies. Its story is the hustle before the hits came.

Critics
6.4Good
Critics praise the film's authenticity, gritty London atmosphere and humour, and the band's natural improvised performances. They fault little, though its rough, unpolished style and slow build are noted.
