Critic Reviews of "London Town"
VarietyNovember 30, 2016The story of the Clash is a fascinating one, and spotlighting a kid inspired by, but not a part of, the punk milieu has plenty of potential. But "London Town" just never burns brightly enough.
Seattle TimesOctober 13, 2016As contrived as "London Town" is - with a derivative coming-of-age story and improbable, fateful encounters between a struggling teen and Clash frontman Joe Strummer - there is something here of the group's early, principled spirit.
RogerEbert.comOctober 07, 2016The movie's impersonal, conventional telling of a reasonably standard male coming-of-age story almost tends to make the punk milieu it depicts beside the point.
Hollywood ReporterOctober 06, 2016The raw vigor and protest of punk get co-opted by the movie's coming-of-age story; it's not the heartfelt sweetness that's the chief problem, but how run-of-the-mill and derivative the plot is.
New York TimesOctober 06, 2016The era's skinhead riots and striking workers - and Strummer's biting, pro-immigrant lyrics - are never more than window dressing in a movie that would rather scatter fairy dust than grit.
Los Angeles TimesOctober 06, 2016"London Town," to borrow from a certain foursome, isn't "burning with boredom," but neither is it exactly "calling."
Movie TalkApril 09, 2017For all its flaws, the film's underlying sweetness makes it hard to dislike. Good, too, to see punk icon Joe Strummer - played with bolshie vim by Jonathan Rhys Meyers - as the story's unexpected fairy godfather.
Film InquiryMarch 12, 2017London Town is a mostly entertaining romp and its cute fantasy is what makes it work.
Under the RadarFebruary 28, 2017The plot synopsis suggests a rather mundane progression of events, and that's exactly what London Town delivers.
NerdistNovember 21, 2016It's hard not to enjoy London Town for its mixture of bittersweet comedy-drama, excellent performances, and the use of several of the Clash's best songs of the era. A little bit of hokum in a rock & roll story isn't a bad thing at all.
Cleveland Plain DealerOctober 20, 2016It's no "Clampdown" or "Radio Clash," but London Town is an enjoyable ride through the late '70s with Joe Strummer sitting shotgun.
Film Journal InternationalOctober 06, 2016Bland coming-of-age story with poorly written characters.
