Leave your thoughts about A Moving Image.
| Time OutCath ClarkeDirector Shola Amoo does a brilliant job of getting under the skin of gentrification. |
| Financial TimesDanny LeighFittingly, the film is itself a grand collage, drama spliced with documentary, music and dance. |
| CineVueMatthew AndersonThe simple title, loaded with meaning, should not disguise just how much is packed into this profound and articulate debut feature from a very promising London-based filmmaker. |
| HeyUGuysMatthew LeeThe fictional parts of the film are underdeveloped with ideas that go nowhere. It's the nonfictional parts, however, that will see audiences pay attention, and understand to the plight gentrification has on working class residents. |
| The ListNikki BaughanA small film with big ambitions and an even bigger heart, A Moving Image has a message that goes beyond its limited scope. |
| Total FilmStephen PuddicombeThe complexity of the topic is well handled, and Brixton itself is full of vibrancy, but the film prompts more questions than it manages to answer. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe movie shrewdly lays out how a district's bohemian and diverse character is what makes it vulnerable to long-term predatory investment, pushing Brixton in the direction of white Notting Hill. |
| The Sun (UK)Jamie EastWriter and director Shola Amoo is almost certainly headed for great things. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeAlthough the film's approach to issues is a little on the nose at times, in Amoo, we are introduced to a distinctive and bold new voice in British cinema. |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherThis impassioned docudrama makes the unfortunate mistake of confusing artistic ambition with intellectual incoherence. |
