Reviews for London to Brighton
It's a chase movie and the tension never lets up. Paul Andrew Williams' well observed gritty thriller differs from most British crime films in that the setting isn't the usual dour and brutal crims but a pimp who procures young girls
Its tautness is satisfying. Not one line of dialogue is superfluous, not one take is a second too long.
At the London Critics Circle film awards last year, Lorraine Stanley was nominated for British Actress of the Year, and if you see London to Brighton, you'll easily understand why.
From the near-hysteria of this compelling opening sequence, Paul Andrew Williams's taut, tough and thoroughly satisfying drama grips the viewer and never lets go until its brutal, surprising conclusion.
A gritty British gangster film that leaves a bitter aftertaste, Paul Andrew Williams' London to Brighton is as technically assured as it is ultimately superfluous.
English actor-turned-filmmaker Paul Andrew Williams made a striking writing and directing debut with this character-driven thriller, which plays out against a backdrop of desperation, self-loathing and grinding poverty.
The film is a calling card for its sure-handed rookie director, Paul Andrew Williams, who expertly turns up the suspense knob while establishing a thick sense of doom amid grimy settings.
Very good but very grim, Paul Andrew Williams' punishing debut doesn't pull many punches -- although the characters certainly field their share of body blows.
I'm not entirely sure what [director Williams] was trying to pull off in London to Brighton or even if Mr. Williams knew what he was trying to pull off.
If Mike Leigh decided to make cockney pulp instead of populist dramas, he’d end up with something similar to British actor-turned-director Paul Andrew Williams’s raw, nerve-jangling feature debut.
The debut feature of writer-director Paul Andrew Williams is a grim, efficient affair.
Spit-polished with Greengrassian artistic din, London to Brighton is kitchen-sink realism without soul.
With plenty of chutzpah, the young British film-maker Paul Andrew Williams has written and directed a cracking debut feature with enough clout to kick the door in.
Maybe the ending's a bit excessive, but it's hard to overstate the excitement of seeing fresh British talent break through with such energy.
Williams emerges as a genuine talent to watch and it will be interesting to see what he does next.
After a promising start, the film becomes less about the experience of an archetypal runaway and more about exploiting terror for big-screen thrills.
