      Audience Member fantastic movie. should be required watching for all 10th graders!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not entirely my cuppa, but good anyway. If I were part of the black population of Peckham I might have empathised more and laughed at more of the jokes. No doubt it has some serious themes in there too. Good acting and a good intent, but slightly hard work for a white Aberdeen resident. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Destiny Ekaragha's "Gone Too Far" is so London, so Naijia, so Jamaica, and just so hilarious to boot. It had me in stitches, laughing so hard until those stitches opened. Loved the movie's fast paced story-line, catchy sound tracks, brilliant cast, talented actors (especially Golda John as Mum), and the right on point dialogue such as: "I want everyone to text immigration and say, give sunshine a stake in London." "But is he really African though? His parents are African, but is he African?" "What does an African look like?" "I don't know, an African innit." "A Yoruba accent is the sexist accent in the whole wide world. Ask anyone with sense." "You need to let them know you're an African, bruv... Let them know the Afs, we're here: big Afs, small Afs, round Afs, Japanese Afs. We are here! What an excellent movie, with Radio DJ running commentaries and tracks that make the movie reminiscent of Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing". Basically, "Gone Too Far" is a cultural studies keeper! Watched it thrice already, plus buying me a copy soon. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member As a comedy it starts out well enough but soon gets a little (but not much) more drama-like with its storyline to the detriment of the film. Has a very inner-city urban styling. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member lol dis movie is funny ð???ð???ð???ð???ð???ð???ð??? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The African guy in this is spot on !!!!! You will get jokes from this film, silly but stil worth a watch.

      Mark Kermode Observer (UK) An ambitious and engagingly authentic adaptation of Bola Agbaje's Olivier award-winning play. Rated: 3/5 Oct 11, 2014 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) The comedy has some real moments of insight and wit but suffers from some of the hammiest acting around. Rated: 3/5 Oct 10, 2014 Full Review Kathryn Bromwich Little White Lies The film zips along with crackling dialogue and breezy moments of broad slapstick. Rated: 3/5 Oct 10, 2014 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Something like a Shakespearean comedy, full of highly amusing, sharply drawn characters and offering wicked insight into how identity is shaped by city living and immigrant culture clash. Feb 5, 2015 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times The sketchy storyline is overly reliant on clich, caricature and contrivance. Rated: 2/5 Oct 10, 2014 Full Review Katherine McLaughlin ViewLondon An upbeat and smart British comedy set on a council estate in Peckham which follows two estranged brothers around for the day, as they search for some okra. Rated: 3/5 Oct 9, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
