Leave your thoughts about London Fields.
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Ciara DolanThe cinematic equivalent of a sewage truck colliding with a tanker full of gasoline. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisLondon Fields, directed by Matthew Cullen and adapted from Martin Amis’s 1989 novel, is, quite simply, horrendous — a trashy, tortured misfire from beginning to end. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA flashy but muddled and incredibly tedious farrago that tries desperately to reflect the novel's prismatic literary brilliance in visual form but fails miserably. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereAdaptation of great 1989 novel by Martin Amis with Billy Bob Thornton, Amber Heard, Jim Sturgess and Johnny Depp a complete mess. |
| Screen InternationalAllan HunterLondon Fields overflows with interesting ideas but they are frequently buried under lurid fantasy sequences, blunt-edged satire and the sense that it is much more amused by its own wild daring than we are. |
| The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicBuried underneath the glop are interesting notions on reality, creation, and the nature of death. And thanks to its aesthetic, it's at least a very beautiful catastrophe. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt’s a neo-noir murder mystery capturing Heard at peak femme fatale in a tale observed, manipulated and told by a struggling writer (Billy Bob Thornton) for “the chaos.” “Chaos” doesn’t quite sum up the movie. But almost. |
| Epoch TimesMark JacksonAmber Heard has a particularly goddess-like face; it apparently syncs perfectly with the Golden Ratio. That's the only reason men will go see this movie, and probably love it. |
| The GuardianHenry BarnesNovelistic, rich and awfully silly, London Fields – like Ben Wheatley’s take on High Rise - is a long-awaited adaptation of a popular and gloomily prophetic book, that seems unnecessary. |
| VarietyAndrew BarkerThis spiraling story of sex, murder, darts, premillennial dread and authorial anxiety becomes a veritable hash of garish, disassociated tableaux. |
