An Oxford-bound teen and a street-wise basketball player begin a full-court romance.

Anna Smith

Empire Magazine

Apart from Arinze Kene, the male lead, the stilted performances here, are enough to put anyone off.

Rated: 2/5

Time Out

Shabbily filmed and poorly acted, its lone positive is a compellingly awful turn by Alfie (brother of Lily) Allen, whose bumbling, velour-tracksuited date-rapist is the sleaziest thing you(TM)ll see this year.

Rated: 1/5

Times (UK)

Freestyle is a string of flashily edited musical montages of East London youth playing basketball, hung on the flimsy framework of a sub-Grange-Hill-quality script.

Rated: 1/5

Sky Cinema

Although the acting is generally closer to Grange Hill than Drury Lane, Kene shows bags of potential.

Rated: 2/5

Total Film

Admittedly, the characters are schematically drawn, but there's real chemistry between the freestyling leads and, refreshingly given the milieu, there's not a gun in sight.

Rated: 3/5

Radio Times

otal fluff and nonsense - though director Kolton Lee does demonstrate visual flair on a low budget - this is also disingenuous and patronising.
