Advantages: Thought-provoking and emotionally draining. Disadvantages: Not for the weak-hearted.
...discovery for the viewer. London to Brighton is an extremely clever movie which uses brilliantly positioned flashbacks to tell the story. Each and every scene is impeccably played out and directed, and there are no unnecessary bits intended to draw out the movie to make up time. The scene settings are suitably shady and sinister, and even Brighton (whether a fluke or planned) has been captured on one of its bad days when the weather is cold and dreary. ... ...getting acclaim for it! London to Brighton was his first attempt at writing and directing, and with a relatively minimal budget and unknown actors one could say it was doomed from the very beginning... but low and behold, London to Brighton raked in 6 award nominations with 6 wins!

Advantages: Gritty, believable, compelling, excellent acting. Disadvantages: Some disturbing topics are explored and can be difficult to watch at times.
...If you live in either London or Brighton (or as I do both!) then you will also enjoy recognising the locations and settings.
