“This comic tale of a girl-obsessed teenager in a Scottish New Town brought writer-director Bill Forsyth’s gently off-the-wall brand of character comedy to a wider audience.” (BFI)

Gregory (John Gordon Sinclair) and his friends at school are starting to notice girls –particularly Dorothy (Dee Hepburn), not least because she’s on the football team and is a better player than all the boys. With counselling from his younger sister, Gregory finally asks Dorothy out, but turns up to the date only to discover that the girls at school have other plans for him.A huge breakout hit on its original release in 1981, Gregory’s Girl was nominated for four BAFTA’s, winning for Best Original Screenplay. Bill Forsyth’s classic comedy remains to this day the ultimate depiction of coming-of-age awkwardness and an enduring favourite of Scottish cinema.

‘‘Gregory’s Girl’ is as flawless an example of personal cinema as this nation has to offer: witty, insightful, beautifully observed and heartbreakingly accurate, it says everything there is to say about suburban lust, adolescent romance, the pressure to fit in –truly, all of teenage life is here. The dialogue is poetic but wholly believable, the cast is note-perfect, the characterisation isbroad but distinctive and the photography is simple, unfussy and real.’TIME OUT GREATEST BRITISH FILMS OF ALL-TIME, 2021
