This film about the unlikely pop stars’ big reunion had no Bros-style drama at all. Where was Marc Almond the flamboyant showman we adored in the 80s?

More of a short story … Marc Almond and Dave Ball of Soft Cell at the Danceteria nightclub in New York, 1982. Photograph: Waring Abbott/Getty Imagesot everyone has a whole novel in them. Some may only have a short story; not everyone has that much to say. Soft Cell: Say Hello, Wave Goodbye profiled a group still beloved on the basis of one big hit and a handful of dark synthpop albums – but this disenchantingly muted film made Soft Cell’s brief flash of light seem duller.

Whilst a Guardian reader I find it’s snobbery unpleasant. Although never a Soft Cell fan I enjoyed the film. Seems Mark Almond wasn’t an outrageous enough queen and they weren’t figures of fun like Bros. They came across as serious artists. BTW “uh oh tainted doc” is pretty lame

genius band!

Ruddy helll, it’s Soft Cell!
