Peter Bradshaw Guardian There’s always a heartbeat of humour... It’s a smart, likable picture. Rated: 4/5 Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Ultimately sunny and often ebullient -- down to a communal hip-hop number at its close -- this is an honest crowdpleaser that nonetheless works hard for its emotional uplift. Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International The perspective of the terrified young carer is not one that’s usually given the respect that it is here. But two lovely central performances, from Power and Noyes help bring it home. Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Ross McIndoe The Skinny The world [Christy] brings us is grey, run-down and uninspiring, an easy place for a person to stagnate. But it’s also full of vibrant personalities, and people who dearly love being wrapped up in each other’s lives. Rated: 4/5 Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review Gritty and impassioned coming-of-age drama with a loveable sense of community Rated: 4 Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Bethany Lola Loud and Clear Reviews An incredible breakthrough performance from newcomer Power is what really solidifies Christy as a must-see. Rated: 5/5 Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
