The film premiered at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival on 10 February 2009 . The film received mixed reviews . The '' Evening Standard 's '' Derek Malcolm gave the film four stars out of five , stating : " Bouchareb 's portrait of London after the terrorist attacks is startlingly accurate and there 's a genuine feel for all of the players . Ken Loach could n't have done much better . This is a film no Londoner should miss : humane , stunningly acted , it will be a gross injustice if it does n't win a prize from Tilda Swinton 's Berlin jury "
