Sight & Sound

A Brixton Tale has a simplicity that sometimes verges on the simplistic; but the strong lead performances, some effective set pieces and its unassailable arguments against privilege make this a tale worth telling.

Little White Lies

Swiftly paced, but grim in its telling. Certainly worth seeking out.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

It's a film with some strong moments and impressive performances, especially from Orebiyi. But in the end it feels like social commentary overtakes the drama.

Rated: 3/5

In Their Own League

It’s an interesting story on love and circumstance that also serves as a layered critique on filmmaking ethics and classism.

Rated: 4/5

The film is on stronger ground when it's attacking middle-class privilege and the contrast between having to fight for everything and having everything handed to you.

Rated: 3/5

The People's Movies

Street filming gives A Brixton Story an authentic flavour, creating a recognisably conflicted backdrop for a frank look at class divisions, racism and inequalities with more than a dash of a modern day Romeo And Juliet.

Rated: 3/5
