Review of Rye Lane

A really funny, enjoyable, clever romcom. Great to look at, witty, cool. It's a romcom so the plot is never going to be very sophisticated, but it's good enough with a few unexpected twists. It's a very London film, but it's almost all shot in the bits of London that rarely make it into mainstream films - Brixton and Peckham, not Notting Hill or Primrose Hill...there is a bit of South Bank and Tate Modern at the end, but I will let that go.

Good diverse characters - the leads are both young Black people, and it's not a film about racism.

Just watch, it's nice, you won't be disappointed.

Watched via laptop, HDMI cable and informal distribution.
