London Road

"London Road" is a musical based on a play of the same name.

In 2006 in Ipswich, Suffolk, a number of women went missing in the town. The women were abducted and later found murdered.

The movie is based on interviews of the residents of London Road; every word spoken or sung in the film is from the interviews.

Starring Olivia Coleman, who has been in "Broadchurch" and "The Crown", the movie is bizarre at best. The score is jarring, which creates an air of unease in the street, which mirrors the residents' anxieties about the missing women.

Now streaming on BritBox, available on DVD, two stars.
