Critic Reviews of "Urban Hymn"
Globe and MailMay 12, 2017An unimaginative drama, carried by solid acting ... but let down by an unspectacular script that includes lines such as, "surviving and living are two different things!"
Los Angeles TimesMay 11, 2017"Urban Hymn" is so carefully and lovingly made by director Michael Caton-Jones and his leads that it's hard to begrudge the British drama its familiar premise, especially as you squint at the screen through tears.
Chicago ReaderMay 11, 2017What begins as a gritty, documentary-style dive into the young women's world -- they're introduced as looters during the 2011 Tottenham riots -- quickly devolves into a Lifetime movie.
Washington PostMay 11, 2017Music redeems an at-risk teen in "Urban Hymn," a social-problem melodrama whose other major characters don't fare so well.
New York TimesMay 10, 2017The fight scenes are nasty, the language is harsh and the three leads are utterly convincing.
Hollywood ReporterMay 08, 2017Urban Hymn unfolds in predictably schematic steps and flat, stilted dialogue.
Little White LiesMay 08, 2017In all, there are strong individual performances from a stellar cast, restrained by a narrative that -- though honest and heartfelt -- is regretfully tenuous and jazz-handsy.
El Pais (Spain)February 03, 2017The film ends up turning into a mellow protest song that blames bad influences. [Full review in Spanish]
El Mundo (Spain)February 02, 2017Contrary to the conventions of the genre, the film progresses in a very convincing confrontation of three personages by means of a very american melodrama of personal overcoming. [Full review in Spanish]
Times (UK)October 07, 2016Urban Hymn is a movie of noble intention and clod-footed execution.
CineVueOctober 06, 2016An impressively rounded character study set against the London riots of 2011.
