Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 4h
The rough-and-ready aesthetic of this account of a grassroots act of resistance -- it is largely sourced from camera phone footage -- belies the film’s dexterous editing and elegant interweaving of social history and ripped-from-the-headlines immediacy.

3/5
There’s definitely a rousing prescience to a film like this at such a politically precarious moment, and perhaps we should take this rare happy ending with a pinch of salt. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Financial Times 5d
4/5
At a time when battles are raging to preserve the right to protest, and in the year of Minnesota citizens uniting to resist ICE, this episode of neighbourhood history has international resonance. Go to Full Review Rory Doherty In Review Online 12h
If Everybody to Kenmure Street is a film about community, it’s also about culpability, and Bustos Sierra traces Britain’s revived furor against immigrants to Scotland’s colonial history. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 5d
4/5
This is the remarkable story of a community that peacefully insisted that even foreign-born neighbours should not be dragged out of their homes by officials for any reason. And director Felipe Bustos Sierra lets the people tell the story themselves. Go to Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman Mar 10
4/5
