A Northern Soul is a raw look at Hull, through McAllister's eyes, blending personal and collective narratives. The documentary captures the mood of a city grappling with economic decline, the weight of Brexit, and the nostalgia of a bygone era. What really stands out is how McAllister interacts with his elderly parents, grounding the film in familial love and the passage of time. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative, allowing us to dwell on the city's changes, both beautiful and heartbreaking. There's a distinct authenticity in the interviews and the visuals of Hull, making it feel like a lived experience rather than just a story being told. It’s a slice-of-life piece that resonates well with anyone who understands the complexities of home.
