20 sept. 2015 - LONDON FIELDS THE MEDIA REVIEWS

Description:

Collection of Film reviews for London Fields - not date specific.

So comprehensively does the film fail to represent the labyrinthian literary wonders of Amis’ book that it scarcely seems worthwhile to detail its universal shortcomings. What should be noted, however, are two pertinent demerits unrelated to novelistic fidelity. The first issue is that the film is physically ugly, beginning with the mediocre special effects meant to join with stock footage to evoke a world in an advanced state of deterioration and joined by grungy production design that makes even posh settings appear uninviting.

The second overriding truth is that the performers are ill-served one and all.
