Must be Olympic season, Fast Girls are approaching!
With the London Olympics fast approaching, what better way to cash in on the mood with a film about Female Athletics….that doesn’t mention the Olympics at all or make any references to London. Nevertheless, the story is enjoyable, depicting a group of athletes trying to win relay success at the ”world championships” despite having barely any practice, getting drunk before races and generally arguing with each other. Classic British spirit there.Our main characters Shania and Lisa, come from different backgrounds, Shania is working-class (we know this, as she claims she’s never even been on a plane before!) whilst Lily is posh and supported by her family. Ignoring the fact that this is basically Bend It Like Beckham 2, the story works like a soap, at times it felt like an Olympic special of Eastenders, even featuring the actress who played ”Chelsea” in the soap. There’s drama, affairs and fights, alongside the minor issue of the actual Athletics.
Written by Noel Clarke (Kidulthood/Adulthood creator), the film is very fast paced, and has that ”urban” soundtrack to please teenagers. It essentially does what it says on the tin and you will find yourself caring about who wins the big race at the end!
6/10
Rocky with Britchix
Black working class East London girl Shania qualifies for the British 200 metre squad and is put forward for the women’s 4 x 100m relay team. However, also on the team is posh white Lisa whose dad is a wealthy former athlete who has influence within the athletic establishment. And Lisa takes an instant dislike to Shania…Fast Girls is essentially Rocky with British girls in running shoes against a backdrop of soap opera bitchiness. But, for all that, it’s not bad. The characters are all reasonably well drawn and nicely played, the soap opera antics are well within the realms of believability, the film is nicely photographed and, of course, the races genuinely get hold of you and nearly have you out of your seat cheering the girls on. I’m not a sports fan, and why should I care about fictitious races? But I did.
I could have done without the music on the soundtrack, but I recognise that this is an attraction for a good part of the target audience and, for me, it was only a minor distraction.
I enjoyed this film much more than I expected to.
