Been So Long
In a thrilling romance on the streets of Camden, London. The story begins with Simon, a single mother charmed by a handsome, troubled stranger named Raymond, who both seem to be expressing old and new feelings. A new life begins in the presence of love, hug and excitement absent for a while for Simon.

Cool actors playing cool characters in a Camden that Londoners will actually recognise (grotty, gorgeous, just about keeping gentrification at bay). Who could ask for anything more?

Few things make the heart sink in advance than 'low-budget British musical,' but it's a credit to Krishnan, Walker and the rest of the team that, after a slightly rocky start, I felt fully won over by the end of the film.
