Review of London to Brighton (2006) by Lee S — 26 Jul 2008
The film explores the mother-daughter-like bond that forms between the girls as they are left to fend for themselves in the gritty underworld of South London. There's a grim nastiness running throughout this story, interwoven with a thin thread of maternal compassion.
Life is hard and hopeless for these people. Their environment is sordid and gloomy. Paul Williams has served up a deliciously gritty and unflinching drama in the midst of chaos, which he occasionally pauses with wonderful slow-motion captures and dreamy shots of the windy barren boardwalk of Brighton.
