Trevor Johnston Sight & Sound Trenchant and unsentimental but suffused with genuine feeling, this modest yet tellingly insightful encounter with everyday struggle is one of the truly essential recent British films. Jan 2, 2019 Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies Shakes up ideas about what it looks like to be creative. Rated: 4/5 Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A sweet, sad film with a happy ending. Rated: 4/5 Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia A Northern Soul demonstrates that a chance is sometimes all you need to get out of poverty. Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Musanna Ahmed Film Inquiry A Northern Soul is an illuminating look at a new Hull, its citizens empowered by the long-needed support for their artistic ambitions, transcending its limits to become the hub of a soulful North. Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa McAllister often sacrifices proficient camerawork for an ability to get intimate moments, and there is an absence of the epic scope and the elements of surprise that made A Syrian Love Story such a transformative experience.
