Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Demonstrates how great acting can infuse a banal, politically correct drama with dollops of emotional truth.

rotten:
"London River'' features on-target acting by its two leads, but they receive scant support from the wobbly plot.

Blethyn and Kouyate inhabit and expand the film's earnestly instructive intentions, leaving us with a deeply-felt experience rather than a naively-sketched lesson.

The film is a matter of Brenda Blethyn's performance vs. Sotigui Kouyate's presence.
