4/5
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. Go to Full Review Millicent Thomas Little White Lies 12/05/2020
4/5
A deeply impactful look at the manifold dangers our young people face today. Go to Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard 12/04/2020
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media May 7
The level of realism might make County Lines a little much for some, but the beautiful cinematography and impressive central performance from BAFTA-nominated Khan are difficult to ignore. Go to Full Review Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk 12/10/2024

Jo F Dec 27 Being a British film means that it's not a "glossy American movie " harsh and does portray the fact that it's close to the life of young lads and even girls who are under the impression that the cash is easy to get. County Lines isn't going away...... See more Jerod S @jeroduptown 08/31/2024 Horribly sad that this smuggling is a thing in the UK, but the film drags in silence. See more 04/24/2022 Complete rubbish. The story makes hardly any sense with loads of parts missed out or skipped over. Waste of time. See more 04/23/2022 Hard hitting, raw, emotive, sublime.
