Among London Road's intriguing cast of characters are a working single mother (Colman), a young schoolgirl (Eloise Laurence), and a cab driver (Hardy) who exhibits a suspiciously extensive knowledge of serial killers. In personal interviews and alluring musical interludes, the film runs through the spectrum of attitudes, fears, and prejudices that emerge as the residents respond to crisis. It also shows us a community determined to rise above the grim reputation foisted upon them by the nation's media. (Toronto International Film Festival)

Overall, this felt very kitschy to me, and I just didn't enjoy it. I was curious to see Tom Hardy in a musical and my curiosity was satisfied. But I simply didn't enjoy this musical; it didn't seem funny to me, even though it looked like it would be at the beginning. And in the end, the story didn't grip me either. Just no.
