Excellent! 'Urban Hymn' is much more heartfelt and meaningful than I thought it would be. It avoids doing the usual, over-the-top thing of making every kid in the film a wannabe gangster and making them all silly criminals. Don't get me wrong, it does have shades of that but I feel it portrays it in a much more subtle manner than most films of this type do. The cast are brilliant. Letitia Wright gives a superb performance as Jamie, I believed in her character from the get-go; which is thanks to the writing et al. but also to Wright. Isabella Laughland as Leanne is very good, as is Shirley Henderson as Kate. The support cast are also well chosen. One thing I will note is that the film does peak a little too early. The first half of it is fantastic, as is the rest all in all but it does drop off slightly once everything's been understood. It is also somewhat predictable, though that's not a negative thing if the production makes it work - which this does. Well worth your viewing time. A weighty story with a convincing cast.

A solid drama that could have done more with the social problems

At the time of London riots in 2011, Jamie (Letita Wright), a misfit teenager living in a care home, is isolating with her equally wayward friend, Leanne (Isabella Laughland). They live in a children's home, but when an idealistic care worker (Shirley Henderson) grieving her own loss recognises a singing talent in Jamie, she also realises that she must separate her from Leanne in order for her to develop.

A drama that does a decent and sincere job in highlighting and recognising the problems of poverty and depravation, but alac does not run with this thread enough, instead drawing on sentimentality and satisfying itself with being a standard story without developing the social aspect.
