The Dissolve

Ill Manors flip-flops between its various threads so swiftly that no in-depth characterizations emerge; rather, the film offers only the same old indistinguishable hoods and hookers.

Rated: 2/5

Globe and Mail

The ambitious Ill Manors lacks a bit in the charisma and entertainment departments, but makes up for it with a grimy intensity.

Ill Manors seems a little too in thrall to its hokum, 'gritty' narrative and the street affectations of its characters.

Rated: 2/5

With pronounced stylization, Drew's cinematic debut is as completely engrossing as it is often off-putting, and heralds an excellent new authorial voice in cinema.

Drew has certainly proven himself a talented director with bags of potential, who - with his debut film - has managed to paint a gripping, vivid and starkly realistic portrait of inner-city London life.

A strong sense of pathos, depth and complexity with an outstanding cast and a very richly layered and original feeling structure.

Not totally sure about the slam poet narrator, or the very over-the-top characters - but an interesting enough look at inner-city London and the depravity that exists. It's no Top Boy, however.

The movie is not bad, just all those characters are. John Cooper Clarke performs his poem Pity the Plight on the stage.

Ben Drew is angry. And he has every right to be. The story is gritty and at times difficult to watch. I think it's superb.

Dis film was a work of art, even if da guys weren't smart, dey come across as being tick, but all de time dey giving stick, da baby ting was being silly, all because of a vermin's willy, de only one who came across as good, did de ting that all have should, it shows that nice boys can grow up bad, and dat makes it all a little bit sad. Well done Plan B, it shows you have lots of talent.
