There is simply no better way to spend 49 minutes of your time, than to sit down and listen to the eponymous début album by The Stone Roses, as a record that is one of the finest to have ever been recorded. Well now, though double the length in time, the immensely talented director Shane Meadows has made a worthy attempt at presenting a film equally as inspiring, with his documentary Made of Stone.
