Drama A stylish, sexy film about a young man's journey into an unusual form of escort work, set in an imaginary vision of London's Soho.

	Media	Author	Review
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"Idiosyncratic, accomplished, albeit more than a little airless (...) [It] is seldom as funny or sexy as it means to be"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Stylish and witty, if a bit hollow (...) Although 'Postcards From London' ultimately doesn't quite live up to its considerable ambitions, it offers plenty of arresting moments along the way."
		Bilge Ebiri The New York Times	"[It] may not make for a particularly involving narrative experience. But it sure is nice to look at."
		Rex Reed The New York Observer	"Aside from bad filmmaking, I don't know what any of this means (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Although visually striking, the mannered style and theatricality of both sets and performances may limit this film’s appeal (...) The story loses its impetus as Jim progresses on his odyssey"
		Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"It has a lot of interesting ideas (...) The film is best when it doesn't take itself too seriously. Unfortunately, for the most part it takes itself very seriously (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"I found it interestingly innocent and high-minded – and aspirational, too, in an unexpected way (...) I liked its idealism (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lewis Knight Mirror	"[It] is skin-deep and fails to utilise the talent of rising British star Harris Dickinson, despite being a visual treat (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
