Saw it because it was on my Time Out BBF list. It was on Tubi. Sadly, this gritty trash crime slum oriented film was tedious and only kept me interested at one point. I don't plan to see it again since I didn't identify with the characters, the action or the depressing plot.

This film is about the grimy side of life. The visuals match the drab plot, where lives are stuck in violence, to claw out a living. In the last scene, was the working girl going back to work or starting a new life?

"Police, amubulance or fire?" 'Police. An armed man with a shotgun is holding two girls hostage in my flat. He orderd me out.' "Give my your address." 'It's 57 Somerfield road, Brighton.' "Some armed officers are on there way now. Just do not provoke him and try to remain calm"............. That is what would have happened in real life. I rest my case. How everyone missed this I do not have a clue.

This hard hitting British drama from director Paul Andrew Williams is a brutally impressive piece of work. Williams has only directed a handful of films to date, he's probably best known for his work on I온라인카지노추천's Broadchurch in 2017. If you're familiar with the third series of the hit 온라인카지노추천 drama you'll notice some of his traits amongst the depleting mood of London To Brighton. The film begins in a dank and disgusting toilet cubicle in London at three in the morning. Through a wall of foul language we are introduced to prostitute Kelly, who is nursing a horrific swollen eye, and youngster Joanne, who claims her age is anything between eleven and fourteen throughout the film. Something has clearly gone badly awry for the pair of them, and we know the ballpark we're in immediately as Kelly forces Joanne to lock herself in the cubicle for an hour while she goes out to find a customer so she can earn the train fare for them both to head to Brighton where she has a friend. It becomes clear vier flashbacks why they're in this predicament; without giving to much away, they're essentially on the run from Kelly's pimp Derek (an excellent Johnny Harris). What makes London To Brighton so hard hitting and imposing is, of course the treatment of the two women throughout, but also the way in which Harris' portrayal of Derek makes you almost feel for him; he's been stabbed in the leg by his boss (a terrifying Sam Spruel) and told to hunt down Kelly and Joanne on pain of death. Lorraine Stanley and Georgia Groome are monumental as the two girls on the run, but Harris, despite being a horrible piece of work and a dreadful bastard (we see him seemingly pimping out his own girlfriend in an early scene) almost makes the film work himself as a middle man following horrific orders from an even worse bastard above him. He almost achieves our sympathies before constantly reminding us of what a horrible person he is. London To Brighton isn't for everyone, it reminded me very much of Hyena (2014), Gerard Johnson's nasty but effective British neo-noire drama, and to a certain extent Danny Boyle's Trainspotting (1996). But it demands to be seen if you can stomach it, it's probably one of the best British dramas of recent times, and I don't say that lightly.

"London to Brighton" is a little, simple, raw indi movie. Unfortunately not much more then this. Pretty forgettable (which is always better than to be pretty bad).

Powerful performances with excellent direction and writing.

An abstract 'chase' film set on a gritty South London backdrop. Gripping from start to finish. Though the content is uncomfortable, the film's verisimilitude definitely encourages the viewer to pause for thought. A fictional representation of the most severe realistic enterprise.

predictable and nothing really special. british cinema has tones of these movies and way way better than this

A fairly straightforward story with an ugly, gritty, and fairly realistic style but the acting is below par for most of the cast and none of the characters are likeable. The climactic ending though was pretty well done; very intense and traumatic, and really the only reason to see the film.

London To Brighton is an OK film. It's worth a watch. I give this film 2 stars.

(under an hour and a half running time) this movie deals with a pre-teen troubled girl who is coursed into prostitution. the acting is very good and it all feels so real but i taight this movie was going to be a chase movie which it isnt.

fantastic little film

brilliantly acted movie. brutal subject matter. gritty script.

Typical English gangster movie with lots of vivid violent and swearing and nothing much to do with either London or Brighton.

rush in,2 grirl on the run,what happened?,into street work,flashback-how it went on.he constantly pushing,street knowledge,everything fr a bit money,get hold of em-got to or dead,eventually take care of it prof-for some unexpected,long tensious end sequence,fag thing actually trough whole movie, real brittish

Disturbingly realistic and throughly gripping. Another great British film.

A very good britgrit!

Gritty, but flimsy, hollow narrative.

Morton makes a terrific baddy. Definitely worth a look

it was an good film but could have been better,I don't think I'll want the film on DVD, the film was ok and it starred Lorriane Stanley, Johnny Harris and Sam Spruell, It was an ok film but expected it slightly better
