Be sure to stay to see the artistic staging of the movie's final musical number. It ends up being a wonderful scene to remember, despite the heartache that comes before.

Rating: 2/4 --
An unimaginative drama, carried by solid acting ... but let down by an unspectacular script that includes lines such as, "surviving and living are two different things!"

Globe and Mail
The fight scenes are nasty, the language is harsh and the three leads are utterly convincing.

Music redeems an at-risk teen in "Urban Hymn," a social-problem melodrama whose other major characters don't fare so well.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
A melody that, like any refrain of a summer song, is dedicated to reinterpreting the eternal rhythm, and wasting its potential. Or, in this case, that of its protagonists. [Full review in Spanish]

Cinemanía (Spain)
"Urban Hymn" is so carefully and lovingly made by director Michael Caton-Jones and his leads that it's hard to begrudge the British drama its familiar premise, especially as you squint at the screen through tears.
