'canny enough to stand comparison with coming-of-age Brit-flicks like SoulBoy
and Cemetery Junction.’ ***Total Film ‘Heartfelt’ and ‘warmhearted, with evidence that Simpson will have more to offer in his next film.’ -The Guardian. 'Young Hearts Run Free is a fascinating, passionate, revelatory tale of what it is to be young and in love.

1974; during a violent miners strike in a quiet village a teenage artist falls for the gorgeous new girl from London but their attempts to escape cause him to betray his family, community and best friends. With political protests and community bonds straining under a crumbling economy the film is very relevant for today and is an uplifting and soulful mix of cool 1970s styles, romance, teenage rebellion and gritty social realism.
