Review: Kill Your Friends Dismembers London's Music Scene ...

Review analysis
food  

Set in London in the late 1990s, this adaptation of John Niven’s cult novel about the music industry feels a lot like taking cocaine: a buzz at first, then a prolonged transgressive high, which sinks into misanthropic disgust and ultimately leaves you feeling nauseous and a bit empty inside.

Steven Stelfox, the film’s grasping and obnoxious anti-hero, even lists synonyms for the drug as a way of calming himself down whenever he loses the plot.

Like him, the film is extreme in its vision of the hedonistic music scene in London around the heady time of Britpop and Blair.

And the music still sounds great, though a lot of middle aged men will be dismayed that tracks they haven’t taken out of rotation yet — Beetlebum, Setting Sun, Cigarettes & Alcohol — are now considered period pieces.

Hoult is backed by a solid comic cast worth mentioning: James Corden as a wigged out, clueless music exec and Jim Piddock as Stelfox’s whining boss are especially good, while Tom Riley, Osy Ikhile and Moritz Bleibtreu liven things up in smaller roles.

Niven’s, though, is a little beacon of light against the darkness of King’s Cross Road.

There’s a range of hot tray-baked bits (pastas, pies, curries and so on), plus chunky salads and sandwiches on offer (including a knowing Brindisa homage/rip-off roll with thick-cut chorizo, sweet piquillo pepper and rocket.

A gargantuan slab of sausage, sweet potato and mixed veg pie was the standout on my visit: a helmet-sized flaky pastry case crammed with chorizo and (I think) merguez-spiced pig, odds and ends of broccoli and cauliflower, pomegranate seeds and a dry tomato sauce buzzing with chilli.

A massive, sage-flecked chicken escalope looked a picture and was excellently moist, but remained a bit of an elevated caff dish.

Each plate, with a main and a side, came to £8 – a bargain for the pie/gratin, but a bit steep for the otherwise smaller portions.
