That was an excellent one.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Late night BBC 1. Where would we be without it. Just caught this on what is now a Thursday morning.It's TV actors, TV writer and a TV director and as a result has a rather small scale TV feel. It's not Human Traffic. It is, however, not an episode of Casualty. Everything is done very well, nothing is too OTT. Most of the cast can act and have a script that doesn't kill them, which happens all too often with 'Gri'y Youf Drama'. Worth renting? Perhaps. Definitely worth staying to the end if you find yourself in front of it.And yes, the music is pretty good, especially the trumpet which is ABSOLUTE Genius!

Greenwich Meantime is one of the freshest, most invigorating films to come out of the UK in years. It tackles head on the issues and emotions involved with being a young person at the end of the century in London - living in the city, having no money, no direction and being in the same boat as many others. This is Simon Mirren's real strength - the ability to write honest, compelling and emotionally powerful relationships. There are several moments in this film which pass the 'tingle' factor with flying colours. I look forward to seeing Mr. Mirren's future work with bated breath and in the certainty that it will accurately reflect these times.

If you think this film is going to be another good modern British film to entertain you like Trainspotting, Twin Town and Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels...then prepare yourself for disappointment!The film has a very weak storyline, so much goes on that it is confusing at times and you never know exactly what period in time it is supposed to be...one minute they are sitting there chatting...next scene is 9 months later etc, very confusing at times! The film is much like watching MTV's "Real World" series and only seeing one in every three episodes so you never quite get a feel for what is happening. Overall the film feels like its trying to fill to much in, there are so many sub plots that you never really feel attached to any and some are just plain unbelievable. If the plot focused in on fewer characters then it could have been better.Some of the locations around London are well filmed but nothing really stood out. The soundtrack fits in with the atmosphere and theme of the film and is well done, although it wasn't "my cup of tea".The film it the biggest load of pretentious rubbish I have seen in years and it is not a film that I'd watch again. If recommending it to someone I'd tell them to wait until it was released on video rather than see it in the cinema. I should imagine the film will appeal to people in their late teens, any older then you may also be disappointed with the film.Greenwich Mean Time is certainly the worst film I have seen this year!

Saw it in Cannes. It's the first film that has a sense that it knows what it is talking about. The characters are moving and very original, played by some the best British talent to grace our screens. Wonderful sound track. My favourites were Charlie, Bean, Rix, Elroy and Ricky. The whole structure feels different. There is no one real protaganist. A real sense of style, without being pretentious and looking somewhat like an advert. You could not ask for much more out of a film than this provides...Well done...
