      Derek Malcolm Guardian Dust is only 88 minutes long, and expresses itself succinctly as well as passionately. It is also very finely acted indeed. Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) There are hints here of Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Strindberg's "Miss Julie," and the movie develops a certain brooding authority. But it ends up looking like a piece of juvenilia discovered in Athol Fugard's bottom drawer. Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
