Dans le sud de Londres, un Anglo-pakistanais et son petit ami punk ouvrent un lavomatique à une époque de tension raciale.
« Frears combine réalisme documentaire à la Ken Loach et film noir et progressiste, style Dassin ou Losey d’avant le maccarthysme. Il mêle également un constat pessimiste sur la lutte des classes et des races et une lueur d’espoir dans les amours homosexuelles chaotiques et tendres d’Omar et Johnny. » (Olivier Serre, Le Guide cinéma, Ed. Télérama)
« It’s every bit the landmark gay film it deserves to be. The humanist in Frears refuses to shortchange the damage that’s inevitably wrought by his characters’ shenanigans. Said damage is most vividly embodied by Day-Lewis’s beautifully primal performance, which renders a heart-breaking portrait of a man who feels more than is really allowed of him by his world. » (Slant Magazine)
