Review of London Road (2015) by Dale R — 24 Feb 2017

Based on the 2011 play of the same name, certainly not for "casual movie watcher" tastes but a beautifully choreographed experience of a film.

Drama, comedy, musical, flowers, serial killings? Those expecting a court-case will be disappointed. Think "The Winslow Boy," a play (and film) about the effect of what's happening on those it affects.

Colman and Fleetwood shine in their roles, as do those portraying The Media. "It Could Be Him" would be my favorite bit, as is "It's a Wicked Bloody World" and the rib-tickling "Cellular Material.".

Kudos to the creators. This was an entertaining, out-of-the-ordinary watch. For every bit that feels awkward, there's a dozen clever, uplifting ones.
