Our take

Robinson, the unseen “researcher” in Patrick Keiller’s acclaimed London, returns in this mosaic and richly imaginative sequel. Tackling the diminution of the manufacturing sector, this road trip through the English provinces bears witness to the potential for economic transformation and rebirth.
