Little White Lies magazine

Forget the low-budget Brit-grit flicks that film graffiti and bleak northern towns and claim to show what Britain is really about – Chromophobia claims nothing, yet shows everything. Writer and director Martha Fiennes withholds today’s compulsion to toss in a handful of black and brown people to represent the multi-cultural nature of London, but chooses subtler refinement in her choice of characters. The poverty-stricken mother wrestling illness to feed her little girl is as exposed and vulnerable to attack as the Jermyn Street-attired accountant who can’t trust his boss or his best friend. A brilliantly casted film that is impossible not to mull over, again and again.
