REVIEWS

"Common People is a rare gem, the kind that makes you thrilled to have discovered it. With no real expectations I started to watch this wonderful film, expecting a gentle reflective hour and a half - but Common People is so much more than that. With beautiful performances and a quiet firmness it pushes you to an understanding of human motive and love that is intensely moving and highly rewarding. I recommend this so highly."
Stephen Fry

"A positive, life affirming film... plenty of laughs, moments of tenderness and very nicely drawn performances... a micro-budget film with a big heart.
BritFlicks

Theres some incredibly good (and very funny) dialogue here, and an innate sweetness and charm will have you cheering.
Total Film

A bittersweet celebration of Englands green and pleasant places the cast radiate charm, raise a smile, and warm the heart.
The Sunday People

A film that provides genuinely laugh-out-loud moments and others that need tissues. It may have been made on a small budget, but its big on heart.
The Coops Review

"A sweet and huge-hearted story of London life."
Danny Leigh from BBC FILM 2014

A folksy but charming celebration of communal life.
Empire

Funny and moving Skinner and Alexander, it seems, have the common touch.
London Evening Standard

Alexander's script deftly captures the sense of community that prompts strangers to make the effort to communicate with each other or do good deeds.
Radio Times

A little slice of real life film that is a joy to watch... it has a charm and friendly quality you just dont get in movies anymore."
The Cult Den
