Leave your thoughts about City of Tiny Lights.
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondCity Of Tiny Lights is like a Raymond Chandler story that's been parachuted into modern-day west London. |
| CineVueMatthew AndersonA far darker side of London is painted in bleakly realistic tones in City of Tiny Lights but, like its protagonist, Travis' film shoots from the hip, has a glint in its eye and packs a mean punch. |
| The National (UAE)James MottramA film noir with a difference, Pete Travis' City of Tiny Lights is an intoxicating brew: dark and dangerous, but also achingly romantic. |
| The Arts DeskDavid KettleSlickly paced by Travis -- despite a brief dead patch in the middle -- it's an entertaining, thought-provoking ride nonetheless, and one that maintains its sense of humour despite its seedy subject matter. |
| AwardsCircuit.comShane SlaterThough the film is well-acted, engagingly written and competently directed, it also feels like a bit of a relic. |
| Observer (UK)Simran HansThose hungry for original British movies, especially ones that attempt to engage with multicultural London, may find their appetites whetted. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Brian VinerIt has good characters and strong performances, and I left the cinema hoping that I hadn't seen the last of Tommy Akhtar. |
| Little White LiesKatherine McLaughlinThe jagged parts of this noir puzzle don't piece together to make a pleasing whole. |
| Sky CinemaTim EvansStreet sharp and smart, it's nice slice of homegrown noir. |
| Radio TimesDavid AldridgeFor all its faults, City of Tiny Lights is a strong and stylish bit of Brit-noir with an impressive leading man in Ahmed. Definitely worth investigating. |
