Review

Noel Clarke wrote, co-directed, co-produced (and acted in with a hilarious cameo appearance) this often funny and fairly clever crime yarn about four London-based teenage girls who get themselves mixed up in a diamond heist gone wrong, and must get themselves out of all sorts of subsequent entanglements. Clarke presents his story from each of the girls' perspective, which could have seemed unnecessarily avant-garde and gotten in the way of the story had it not worked, but here it does, owing to the fact that Clarke actually has very different points of view to present, not just flashy images. That being said, he has got flashy images as well, and 4.3.2.1 is a music video style film that, consciously or not, is both a product and a document of its own time; the characters are almost as fast-moving and restless as Clarke's cuts and bombardment of images. Fortunately, both his characters and images reveal both substance and depth, albeit not quite as much as Cassandra's bed.
