The film tells the story of two girls from very different walks of life who are thrown together on the British Relay team for the World Championships. Fiercely competitive and struggling to put their egos aside and work together, it doesn’t help matters when they realise they both have their eye on the team physio… Featuring the cream of the crop of young British acting talent including Lenora Critchlow (Being Human) and Bradley James (Merlin) this is a modern sports movie with a cool edge. The young British talent is accompanied by a great supporting cast including Rupert Graves (Made in Dagenham), Noel Clarke (Doctor Who) and Philip Davis (Brighton Rock).
This crowd-pleasing film is Regan Hall's debut feature film and was written by Noel Clarke, Jay Basu and Roy Williams. Hall is an award winning young director who presents audiences with a street-wise, British comedy. For Clarke, a well-known actor and now writer, this film is completely different to what he has written before but it does not disappoint.
Do you remember how good Bend it Like Beckham was? Well Fast Girls is just as good and empowering for sportswomen. The storyline is one which demands both smiles and tears as it takes you on a journey with the characters. Men and women alike will be delighted by the film, and it makes a nice change to have a film set in London which is not about crime and gangs! It's a great film to relax into during the sunny weather.
