02
The Family Way
Why this pick
It shares the frank British New Wave interest in marriage, sexual pressure, cramped domestic life, and the collision between youthful hopes and working-class reality.
03
A Taste of Honey
Why this pick
Its lively but unsentimental approach to a young woman’s independence, unexpected pregnancy, and difficult family bonds closely matches the emotional candour of Up the Junction.
04
Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush
Why this pick
Another sharp, colourful slice of late-sixties Britain, balancing pop-era energy and sexual coming-of-age with an observant eye for provincial working-class life.
05
This Sporting Life
Why this pick
For Up the Junction’s tougher social realism and bruised relationships, this offers an equally raw black-and-white vision of working-class aspiration and emotional confinement.
