Leave your thoughts about London Town.
| StarburstWhitney Scott BainFor any fan of the Clash or great film making; this is a movie not to be missed. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerLaura DeMarcoIt's no "Clampdown" or "Radio Clash," but London Town is an enjoyable ride through the late '70s with Joe Strummer sitting shotgun. |
| VarietyAndrew BarkerThe story of the Clash is a fascinating one, and spotlighting a kid inspired by, but not a part of, the punk milieu has plenty of potential. But "London Town" just never burns brightly enough. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghWith its boyhood-to-manhood tropes (growing up means getting a girl’s attention and winning an idol’s respect), London Town can’t be taken too seriously. But it’s nice to see part of the Clash’s populist legacy in a fan’s journey. |
| Spectrum CultureKristen LopezIf you're a fan of British music-themed dramas, London Town is right up your alley. |
| Movie TalkJason BestFor all its flaws, the film's underlying sweetness makes it hard to dislike. Good, too, to see punk icon Joe Strummer - played with bolshie vim by Jonathan Rhys Meyers - as the story's unexpected fairy godfather. |
| Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe raw vigor and protest of punk get co-opted by the movie’s coming-of-age story; it’s not the heartfelt sweetness that’s the chief problem, but how run-of-the-mill and derivative the plot is. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe movie’s impersonal, conventional telling of a reasonably standard male coming-of-age story almost tends to make the punk milieu it depicts beside the point. |
| Film InquiryJacqui BlueLondon Town is a mostly entertaining romp and its cute fantasy is what makes it work. |
| User ReviewSusan GA sweet story emerges from the ugly underbelly of 70's in London where the Clash unifies those with their hearts on their sleeves... it's refreshing to sit back and watch a little sentiment these days. |
