I've been watching...

Last week, I had a pleasure to meet Al Clarke and Rachel Robey - the producers of a thought provoking picture "London to Brighton". I so admire people like them - people with passion and imagination, people having something to say and saying it out loud.
Here is the link to the official site: http://www.l2b-themovie.co.uk/l2b.html There you can find all the information you need. However, my advice is not to read the synopsis before watching.
The film is a tale about two girls. One of them has seen a lot and the other one has seen much more. (Don't ask me which one is which.) They have a problem. Something has happened and they have to deal with it. Can't tell you how the story goes as you definitely should see the movie yourself.
I’ve been told the film and the subject were controversial. And yes, I agree – but if that’s the case, then we need to admit that life in general is controversial. Because this feature is about life. Life without make up and costumes, life the way it is when something goes wrong and we find ourselves without anybody to help us. On the contrary, when something goes wrong, we are the most vulnerable and there is always somebody who will be happy to use it against us.
Great cast: Lorraine Stanley as Kelly – very convincing as a working girl and not the high standard one; Johnny Harris as Derek – a pimp who is brave only towards the weaker then him; Sam Spruell as Stuart Allen – he gave me serious shivers; and wonderfully perfect Georgia Groome as Joanne – cannot comment on that – she was sooo good (and twelve at the time!). They deserve all the awards they’ll ever get! It’s their performance that makes it so genuine.
The film has received very positive reviews from numerous publications but the one that says it all is from the “Big Issue”. Because if they find it worth seeing – it must be a real deal.
