Reviews

It's within the power of filmmakers to affect our emotions and here, the uncomfortable discomfort felt, watching the relationship of two best friends crumble, under the saddest of scenarios, is nailed with two sublime female performances - in fact, the whole cast of ladies is superb!

Thought provoking British film that pushes the boundaries of friendship.Lynn & Lucy are twenty somethings, friends since their schooldays where they were rumoured to be in a same sex relationship.

Social drama that says a great deal about society today. Our own weaknesses and dreams never happening.

Saw the BBC logo and continued watching, more fool me.Plus side, there was some great acting.

I gave this six because the actors turned up. A bit fed up with working class actors being presented as soap opera characters, inarticulate and sullen.

Nicola Burley is the only light in this drama, the rest of it is dull. There is no ending, almost a depressing soap episode that doesn't have a follow through.

While I'm very much a fan of British kitchen-sink realism, I found Lynn + Lucy to be excessively turgid and ultimately quite tiresome. I understand the style, I understand the message and I understand the level of confronting bleakness.

Lynn and Lucy have been friends since high school. They live a normal middleclass life across the street from one another in a small town, and know they can count on each other for a laugh or a chat.
