Leave your thoughts about London Symphony.
| CineVueTom DugginsThe magic of the film is that it finds the drama of London in the places we seldom look - building sites, old brutalist apartment blocks, underground escalators and scaffolds. |
| Total FilmNeil SmithThe 'city symphony' genre that flourished in the '20s is made over in a monochrome montage from director-editor Alex Barrett, offering a view of London life spanning the city's architecture, wildlife, religions and nightspots. |
| CineVueJamie NeishAs a salute to London, Barrett's work is to be celebrated in itself. |
| GuardianPhil HoadOrganising his shots into thematic blocks - nostalgic byways, religion, bins - Barrett has the knack of drawing out visual details that cause nice eddies in the film's melancholy flow. |
| HeyUGuysJon LyusA good city symphony, but far from the cinematic heights of its predecessors. Watch it to feel better about London. |
