Long before he was the gladioli-waving frontman of The Smiths, and even longer before he became the problematic provocateur of recent times, Morrissey was Steven Patrick Morrissey, a gobby teenage outsider looking to find his place in the world. Directed by Mark Gill and starring Jack Lowden, new biopic England Is Mine traces Morrissey’s formative years and his first fateful encounter with Johnny Marr.



•England Is Mine is released in UK cinemas on 4 August
