Mile End Kicks

Right now you can watch Mile End Kicks in the UK on Sky Go — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Barbie Ferreira sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on Sky Go and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Mile End Kicks earns its spot. Mile End Kicks does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Grace Pine, a 24-year-old music critic, moves to Montreal to write a book on Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, but her plans are complicated when she becomes romantically involved with two members of an indie band she is covering and decides to become their publicist. Barbie Ferreira and Devon Bostick lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2026. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Mile End Kicks holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Mile End Kicks is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Barbie Ferreira anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
