Strangeways Here We Come is an English comedy drama, written and directed by Chris Green, in which a group of residents in a council estate decide to defeat a cruel loan shark who has been making their lives miserable.

The Times rated the film zero stars,[2] and Mike McCahill, reviewing for The Guardian, rated the film 1/5 stars, commenting that critics would be "torn between highlighting those actors who make a few scenes tolerable or granting them the anonymity they surely longed for as they fled the cast-and-crew screening with heads under blankets.

"[4][5] In 2022, the film saw increased popularity on Netflix, appearing on the streaming site's "Most Watched" list.

Green told Manchester Evening News: "I'm glad for everyone involved, and I’m proud to have come from Salford and being able to turn my experiences into entertainment.

I’m not a multi-millionaire but I am doing the job that I love, writing for film and TV and telling the stories that inspire me.
