London river

Watched this film on DVD at home. Stars Brenda Blethyn and Sotigui Kouyat as two separate parents who come to London in the wake of the July 7 bombings in 2005, only to discover that their children had been living together. A lot of the conversation is in French (I think the director Rachid Bouchareb is French) and it is quite weird listening to Brenda (one of my favourite actresses) speaking French. Quite a slow and gentle film, despite the unpleasant background, but not plodding.
