Pirates is an hour and twenty minutes of glorious nostalgia for a bygone era, which contains no smartphones or social media influencers. It celebrates music, friendship, and the unrivaled jubilation of youth seen through the eyes of three friends in North London on the cusp of the new millennium. Driven by a bass-heavy contemporary garage soundtrack, Elliot Edusah, Jordan Peters and Reda Elazouar personify that teenage exuberance.
Written and directed by British film actor and television presenter Reggie Yates, who is best known for his various documentaries on the BBC, this concise semi-autobiographical experience is engaging. As Cappo (Edusah), Two Tonne (Peters) and Kidda (Elazour) respectively, audiences follow our eponymous leads into the depths of a 1990s subculture that feels fresh and exciting. Era-specific touchstones include old cell phone technology, Tamagotchis, and a refreshing lack of modern convenience.
