Luke Buckmaster Guardian Apr 23
4/5
Litchfield’s elegantly immersive direction resists visual pop and overt aesthetic embellishments, intending us to stay focused on the dialogue and performances, which is where the film’s real texture lies. Go to Full Review Jake Wilson Sydney Morning Herald Apr 23
3/5
But Alphabet Lane, which has the shape of a literary short story, turns out to be an unusual miniature, a character study that veers gradually into something like magic realism. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com Apr 23
3.5/5
[A] quietly bizarre Australian psycho-drama...a marvellous, beguiling squib of a film that keeps you guessing. Go to Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment Apr 23
3/5
A great exploration of what isolation can do to people. There is very little doubt that as a filmmaker James Litchfield has a huge future ahead of him. Go to Full Review Sarah Ward ScreenHub Apr 23
Ambitious and beguiling ... the type of bold swing that perhaps only a first-time filmmaker would take. Go to Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 16

Linda B @Lindaxyz 4d The dialogue was very unrealistic and annoying. The relationship between the two seemed very superficial. The scenery and the music were good but I couldn't wait for it to finish. See more Read all reviews
