Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Clever writing and acting creates characters who are likeable and unusually complex, offering surprising points of resonance throughout the non-chronological narrative. Rated: 4/5 Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens This film feels like a Danny Boyle moment, injecting some much-needed dynamism into the genre. This is grass-roots cinema at its best. Stark, moving, edgy and drole, this is a genuinely exceptional feature debut. Rated: 5/5 Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Bethany Lola Loud and Clear Reviews There’s a lot of depth and substance to Benji, which makes Departures that bit more enjoyable. [...] It’s extremely raw to see gay men go through these experiences on screen, especially when so many films sugarcoat what it’s like. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Darryl Griffiths Movie Marker Instilling an invigorating Northern grit into British queer cinema. ‘Departures’ fittingly won’t leave you in a hurry, offering a blisteringly brilliant deep dive into a volatile relationship, that is both uproarious and sincere. Rated: 4/5 Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
