I don't like to write many reviews, but when I discover a movie that I think it is underrated, it makes sense to write about it:)
Although there are many characters, you do not get to know very well any of them and at the same they all have something in common: a horror east-London story-line that tangles them.
I guess the movie seems very rough and tough from many points of view, specially to someone who has not been in that part of London, nor has seen anything similar. To all the other ones, this seems to be just another slice of live that brings up sometimes the worst and best of people.
There is a positive message in the end, but boy..you have to through hell and back before you get there!
I am having hard time recommending the movie, although from technical point of view it was almost without flaw, mainly because the abuse of using too many sad stories at the same time. Limiting the number of main characters to only 2-3 would've had the same effect.
Anyway, kudos to the director for a well done movie, albeit I will never want to watch it again...
