This is a little gem of a film which celebrates the diverse people in London (and the UK) which make up our communities today.
It weaves through the lives and experiences of a number of characters. Seeing the light, bright side to life as well as the challenges and heart break too.
Filmed entirely on Tooting Common, the film follows the cheeky escape artist Princess Parroty, who elopes to the lush green space in the midst of the hustle and bustle of London. As she explores her new home we get a birds eye view of the regulars who come to the common and we are able to share in their lives.
I was absorbed into the film very quickly, and really cared about what was going to happen to the people in each individual story. The stories, although separate, find themselves connecting together in touching and often humorous ways.
The fact that Common People was filmed on a micro budget during the wettest April on record, adds extra magic when watching it. The film oozes warmth and joy and is a true nod to all that's good about London.
