London River by Academy Award nominated director Rachid Bouchareb (Outside the Law), premiered at the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival. It is a simple dramatic story of two very different strangers who have the same goal, locating their children. This movie is effective and emotional because Bouchareb manages to avoid typical tricks and cliches for pulling on heartstrings, and instead directs this with a subtle hand. Overall a fine drama, highlighted by a heartbreaking realistic performance from veteran UK actress Brenda Blethyn.
