Everywhere And Nowhere Review

Huda Kidulthood helmer Menhaj Huda writes and directs this story of a British Asian teen in London. Ash (James Floyd) is home from uni and dreams of being a DJ. He gets his chance to play at a local club but struggles with dramas involving friends, girls and family members who disapprove of his lifestyle. Newcomer Floyd leads an attractive cast of youngsters backed up by old pros like Art Malik, but his character’s passions aren’t convincing enough to involve. Club and party scenes feel authentic but others stilted: like many low-budget Brit flicks, this could use a brisk script edit and several reshoots. Still, it raises pertinent cultural issues, with the odd burst of Four Lions-style humour amid the soul-searching melodrama.
