Creation Stories Review

Creation Stories is an adaptation of Alan McGee’s 2014 autobiography (of sorts), and comes with a stellar British pedigree; scripted by legendary author Irvine Welsh and Herb Garden founder Dean Cavanagh; produced by Danny Boyle; starring Ewan Bremner (of Trainspotting fame), and directed by Nick Moran (most famously known for starring in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, but a director in his own right).

It tells the story of Creation Records and its formidable roster, including My Bloody Valentine, Primal Scream, The Jesus & Mary Chain and Oasis.

With so many giants of British culture attached to the project – particularly the contributions of Bremner, Welsh and Boyle, as well as the heavy Scottish influence – comparisons with a certain 1990s British youth film are inevitable.

They are valid to a point; with its anarchic spirit it channels Boyle’s 1996 classic, but Creation Stories is very much its own thing which takes its cues from another cult classic; Michael Winterbottom’s seminal 24 Hour Party People.
