London Town Reviews
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
As contrived as "London Town" is - with a derivative coming-of-age story and improbable, fateful encounters between a struggling teen and Clash frontman Joe Strummer - there is something here of the group's early, principled spirit.
Spectrum Culture
Kristen Lopez
If you're a fan of British music-themed dramas, London Town is right up your alley.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
The movie's impersonal, conventional telling of a reasonably standard male coming-of-age story almost tends to make the punk milieu it depicts beside the point.
Nerdist
Kyle Anderson
It's hard not to enjoy London Town for its mixture of bittersweet comedy-drama, excellent performances, and the use of several of the Clash's best songs of the era. A little bit of hokum in a rock & roll story isn't a bad thing at all.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
The film evinces a clear-eyed sense of the limits that a capitalistic society places on its working class.
Under the Radar
Stephen Mayne
The plot synopsis suggests a rather mundane progression of events, and that's exactly what London Town delivers.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Laura DeMarco
It's no "Clampdown" or "Radio Clash," but London Town is an enjoyable ride through the late '70s with Joe Strummer sitting shotgun.
Variety
Andrew Barker
The story of the Clash is a fascinating one, and spotlighting a kid inspired by, but not a part of, the punk milieu has plenty of potential. But "London Town" just never burns brightly enough.
Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
The raw vigor and protest of punk get co-opted by the movie's coming-of-age story; it's not the heartfelt sweetness that's the chief problem, but how run-of-the-mill and derivative the plot is.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
The era's skinhead riots and striking workers - and Strummer's biting, pro-immigrant lyrics - are never more than window dressing in a movie that would rather scatter fairy dust than grit.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"London Town," to borrow from a certain foursome, isn't "burning with boredom," but neither is it exactly "calling."
Village Voice
Sam Weisberg
It's extremely likable, but sentimental is the last thing a tale about growing up poor and angry in working-class, late-1970s England should strive to be.
Film Inquiry
Jacqui Blue
London Town is a mostly entertaining romp and its cute fantasy is what makes it work.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Bland coming-of-age story with poorly written characters.
