3/5
Low budget and experimental cinema that is infectiously fun. Go to Full Review Andrew Pulver Guardian 07/12/2012
3/5
The mix of deadpan humour and flowery voiceovers doesn't always work, but there are sympathetic performances from the two leads. Go to Full Review David Parkinson Empire Magazine 07/12/2012
3/5
Shot on a shoestring with a crew of seven, there's quirky delights in this lo-fi road movie. Go to Full Review Joseph Walsh CineVue 01/30/2019
2/5
Burely's The Soul of Flies shows a great deal of promise for a first-time director, but as a feature in its own right, its enjoyable elements are jarringly disparate and fail to make for a successful whole. Go to Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) 07/14/2012
Along the way the director pays homage to the three great 20th century Bs - Buuel, Beckett and Bergman - incurring debts that by the end of the movie blow across the parched land like abandoned IOUs. Go to Full Review Allan Hunter Daily Express (UK) 07/13/2012
3/5
The humour is forced and slightly amateurish but sweet moments give this gentle tale some modest appeal. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
