London Stories

'London Stories' is a treat from start to finish. Writer and Director Ryan Claffey weaves a social tapestry of events that surround the viewer and pull you in. Aided by some incredibly gifted actors, including Richard Angol, David Wayman,Simon Mathews, Ulrika Krishnamurti and Eaoifa Forward, we encounter the diversity of different ethnic backgrounds and some of the problems which must be overcome. Blending humour with dramatic conflict, there are some wonderful moments with genuine sympathy for the characters and the situations with which they find themselves in. The story resonates with conflict and opinions and ultimately makes you think that despite all of our imperfections, we are all cut from the same cloth. Wonderfully edited with tight pacing by Carl Bryan and an exceptional title song 'I'm Trying'which will, like the film itself, stay with you long after the finale.
