Innocence has nowhere to hide
From the moment the
film begins, the chase is on. London,
3:07am: Kelly, whose eye is badly
beaten, and Joanne
momentarily hide out in a public restroom
waiting for the next train to Brighton.
How these two girls met and why they
are running for their lives is told
in a series of flashbacks as they
make their way to what they hope is
a safe house by the beach. But they
aren’t the only ones whose lives
are in danger as Kelly’s pimp
Derek has 24 hours to find the girls
or else an unhappy client will kill
him.
Where can you go when
innocence has nowhere to hide? The
answer lies somewhere between LONDON
TO BRIGHTON.

a bit of flavor of this independent
film check these reviews:
Peter
Bradshaw, The Guardian
"The journey from London to Brighton has become something else:
a journey into the final circle of the inferno. Williams's film
is a 120-degree proof thriller, with storytelling nous and technical
flair: it's the best British film of the year."
TimeOut
New York
February 7-13, 2008: "David Fear's four star review ran with artwork."
TimeOut
London
'London to Brighton' was a genuine out-of-nowhere first feature
in the British section, an abrasive urban thriller about a prostitute
and a young runaway escaping the grasp of a ruthless pimp and his
shady underworld connections. It was taut as cheesewire, almost
as tough, but never forgot its fundamental compassion for these
unlovely characters.
The Village Voice Online
February 5, 2008: Nathan Lee's review: ". . . this is the tense, white-knuckle stuff of London to Brighton . . ."
