Although it is a well-made film with good acting and cinematography, the focus of storytelling seems to waver over the course of the film. The film does not adequately address either the social problems that lead to violent crime by teenagers in London, nor does it highlight problems with the British judicial system that led to delay in justice. Most of the focus is on how the family of the victim dealt with the tragedy, making the film gloomier than it should have been. A great deal of the film focused on the imperfections of the victim's father, which I feel was not really required. Overall if you want to watch a film to acquire a melancholic mood, go for it.
