London Road (2015)
In the quiet Suffolk town of Ipswich, the 2006 murders of five women cast a shadow over London Road, where residents grapple with fear, suspicion, and an unlikely musical catharsis. Olivia Colman’s warm Julie, Anita Dobson’s nosy Vi, and Tom Hardy’s brooding Mark lead a community choir turning trauma into song, blending real interviews with haunting melodies. 
Rufus Norris adapts Alecky Blythe’s verbatim play into a chilling yet oddly uplifting hybrid—part true-crime docudrama, part eerie musical. Colman’s gentle resolve shines, Dobson’s gossip fuels tension, and Hardy’s intensity adds depth to this ensemble. The minimalist sets and rhythmic score mirror the town’s unease, transforming tragedy into a strangely beautiful requiem.
A bold, unsettling experiment that finds harmony in horror. A must-see for its unique storytelling and stellar cast.
