Idris Elba and Gemma Arterton impress in a London set ensemble drama of varying quality.
The connections between the characters often seem very tenuous and their behaviour can be hard to fathom. The lachrymose music doesn’t help either.

There isn’t enough space to dig deeply into these stories but a classy and committed cast make it work.
Idris Elba and Gemma Arterton can’t save this formulaic London drama with three storylines.
