Reviews for London
While it shouldn't work, it does.
02/18/06
London is a very simple character piece that is not for every taste. I recommend the film, but I fully expect some that see it based on my recommendation will curse my name come the end credits.

...if you don’t mind watching people who are better looking than you coking up for 90 minutes...
03/24/06
A muscular ensemble piece with an accomplished cast wringing out their best in an emotionally strained screenplay."
02/02/06
London ends up being exactly what it's about: an unwelcome guest with a hard-luck story nobody wants to hear.
02/10/06
...witless and pointless.
02/27/06
I haven't seen so much nasty stuff ingested by so many people since ... well, college. But at least the folks like this that I used to know were kind enough to overdose at a certain point; here, they just keep talking. Or, more accurately, whining.
02/10/06
This is a story about people who have no one to blame but themselves. The same goes for the filmmakers.
02/10/06
The only thing more tedious than stoned people philosophizing about the existence of God is boys who can't bring themselves to say 'I love you.'
02/11/06
I've seen more ferocious, and entertaining, spectacles at Raffi concerts.
02/11/06
...ultimately comes off as a well-intentioned failure that admittedly might hold some appeal for fans of the various actors...
10/03/08
For those who enjoy fashion-model-looking twentysomethings yelling at each other in bathrooms while doing too much cocaine, voila! Heaven is a place called London.
09/20/05
Top CriticRichards recognizes and exploits Evans's beauty, self-reflexively using it as a red herring.
02/05/06
Syd's emotional tailspin is embarrassingly banal, and his assertion that 'everybody here hates me' quickly applies to the audience as well.
02/07/06
It's not so interesting to watch people on cocaine babble back and forth at each other.
02/15/06
Be very afraid.
04/22/08
Don't you hate it when you're holed up in a bathroom with two egocentric guys snorting coke and kibitzing about the meaning of life and their failing love lives? Me, too.
02/10/06
Top CriticRichards mistakes boorishness for drama, and the seemingly tendentious desire to be off-putting succeeds all too well.
02/10/06
London has nothing to do with London. It has nothing to do with anything, except the same heavy-breathing preppy Walter Mitty fantasy that drove A Million Little Pieces.
