Critic Reviews
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The film is a matter of Brenda Blethyn's performance vs. Sotigui Kouyate's presence.
-
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
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.
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
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.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
"London River'' features on-target acting by its two leads, but they receive scant support from the wobbly plot.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Demonstrates how great acting can infuse a banal, politically correct drama with dollops of emotional truth.
