Good Reviews:
·      The films is gripping, engaging and well shot.
·      The movie is very believable, especially characters and situations.
·      Won a huge amounts of awards
·      Although it is based in urban areas, the film has strong social commentary, changing the feel and views of the films.
·      Female producer making it exceptional to understand society in a urban centred point of view.
Bad Reviews:
·      The film is rather basic, using ordinary plots to give predictable thoughts.
·      The enthusiasm caused this film to be overrated. Films such as Kidulthood tell basic storylines, but were a bigger success in terms of entertainments.                                                                                                
·      The low film budget limited the amount of ideas which the director had planned to put in the movie.
·      Plotting could be unconvincing, but is a minor defect due to outstanding performances.
It is based in East London, as the two characters are played to be as immigrants. However, during the time of filming, the London 2011 riots occurred. This brought changes to the movie itself giving more ideas on gang culture in hackney and other parts of east London.
