Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

A mournfully ambient and somewhat ethereal score by James Pickering helps elevate this above mere social realism, finding unexpected shards of beauty in even the most dismal circumstances.

London Evening Standard

If you were looking for a word to describe writer-director Henry Blake's horribly timely debut you would not pick "fun", yet the filmmaking is so sharp I was hooked from the get-go.

Complete rubbish. The story makes hardly any sense with loads of parts missed out or skipped over. Waste of time.
