That small film caps are most probably polyester ones and they are average sound wise.
Two typical representatives of metal film caps are polyester (often labeled as MKT) and polypropylene (MKP).
Rule of thumb IME is that MKP is (much) better than MKT but it is also relatively bigger in size.
You don't have to spend too much in order to acquire a good MKP capacitor.
I have already mentioned WIMA MKP10 as an relatively compact radial cap.
An affordable and relatively compact representative of an axial cap could be Mundorf Evo Aluminum+Oil (2.2uF - 25mm W x 21mm L). You can find it inside Rogue Audio Pharaoh much praised amplifier.
Even back to back elco could not compete with some good MKP cap.
But, YMMV.
