Some New Trailer For London River
New Review For Movie London River
The film is a matter of Brenda Blethyn's performance vs. Sotigui Kouyate's presence.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times It would be nice to say that Bouchareb, who also wrote and directed "Days of Glory" and "Outside the Law," succeeds. He does not entirely. But he doesn't fail, either.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic Blethyn and Kouyaté inhabit and expand the film's earnestly instructive intentions, leaving us with a deeply-felt experience rather than a naively-sketched lesson.
Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News "London River'' features on-target acting by its two leads, but they receive scant support from the wobbly plot.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post Demonstrates how great acting can infuse a banal, politically correct drama with dollops of emotional truth.
Stephen Holden-New York Times There's such a graceful sense of restraint in how this real-life tragedy is treated, one that filters any potential for ripped-from-yesterday's-headlines sensationalism through a respectful requiem of loss and grief.
David Fear-Time Out New York Though the arc of the story is fairly predictable, Brenda Blethyn and Sotigui Kouyate bring humanity to their roles.
Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews There isn't a whole lot of nuance in writer-director Rachid Bouchareb's unapologetically political story. But Blethyn's performance ultimately draws viewers in.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune Powerful. Director Rachid Bouchareb draws excellent, haunting performances from Blethyn and Kouyate. Ultimately moving and cautionary, "London River" shouldn't be missed.
Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest Not surprisingly, the choice of the actress who played lead female character in Mike Leigh's "Secrets and Lies" betrays an affinity for Leigh in more than just the casting--and there's nothing wrong with that.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews [T]wo strangers surprisingly find that horror makes the globalization of terror very personal [with] Blethyn's convincing performance [as] a desperate mother.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com An engaging morality play about the quest of an English woman and an African Muslim to find their children after the 2005 terrorist attack in London.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice Bouchareb's greatest accomplishment is successfully tackling class, grief and Islamophobia.
Clay Cane-BET.com Although the film occasionally cuts away to contextualized clips from news reports, it keeps its focus small-scale, filtering the world historical through the intimately personal.
Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine The film's message about these worried individuals and the larger family of all humanity is a bit obvious at times, but the performances keep you watching.
Liz Braun-Jam! Movies Un retrato humano, sobrio y sensible, que reflexiona sobre los prejuicios y la tolerancia racial, cultural y religiosa en el contexto de los atentados terroristas de Londres. Estupenda labor de sus dos protagonistas.
Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total This gentle melodrama uses the July 2005 terrorist bombings in London as a jumping off point for a tender tale of clashing cultures united in grief.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman A low key drama about parental instincts crossing international/cultural/religious boundaries as well as a haunting reminder about how little we know our children once they've fled the nest, London River feels unexpectedly one-dimensional.
