Brick Lane Reviews
"'Brick Lane' is beautifully acted and written (by Abi Morgan and Laura Jones) so its themes are touched upon glancingly rather than with full force."—The Hollywood Reporter1
"Well-acted and grounded in reality, 'Brick Lane' is never overly emotional, even when it deals with the days after 9/11."—NY Daily News2
