Gone Too Far

I found this film disappointing. There was so much potential, but it seemed very cliched and forced. The character of Armani in particular was very unbelievable and poorly written. She seemed something like a mixed race version of the Little Britain character, Vicky Pollard! The racist comments she made towards black people as a mixed race girl in particular seemed very far-fetched.

I also found the setting very confusing. I believe it was meant to be set in Peckham, but many of the scenes were in East London outside the famous tower blocks in Bethnal Green. I guess to international viewers they wouldn't notice that, but to Londoners watching it, who know the difference between South London and East London, it makes it seem disjointed and confusing. It's a small detail, but attention to detail is important. If this is a film about Peckham why not film it in Peckham and highlight the African and British communities there? This leads me to my final comment that it is not really clear who the audience is or what the point of the film is.
