Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 09/27/2015
3/5
Roberts is already a singular screen presence, and here acquits himself confidently behind the camera, handling the film's shifting tones with nicely cracked off-kilter humour. Go to Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies 09/24/2015
3/5
All over the shop, but much about it is bold and lovable. Go to Full Review Steve Rose Guardian 09/24/2015
2/5
There's classy camerawork to recommend, but the story peters out. Go to Full Review Cameron Ward One Room With A View 05/04/2019
4/5
Roberts is a clear talent for the future of British filmmaking - whether it's directing, writing or performing, he's unlikely to disappoint. Go to Full Review Adam Lowes CineVue 04/06/2019
3/5
Despite being a little rough around the edges, Roberts has made an amusing coming-of-age tale which balances deadpan humour with a dark edge. Go to Full Review Paula Fleri-Soler Times of Malta 02/15/2019

Paul G 03/12/2024 The story just seems so derivative and there is nothing new to justify watching it. I struggled to finish it to be honest, my life is not the better for watching it. skip. See more 04/13/2020 It was good and dark and funny. The lead was also the writer and director. See more 08/11/2017 it starts as a comedy and it develops as a noir movie. Absolutely adore it. Emile Hirsch is great, craig roberts also. A very special movie. See more 02/12/2017 based on a strange friendship between a young Welsh lad and an American. tries too hard to be cool. See more 02/01/2017 Actually really like this, it's the sort of film script I could write :-) See more 02/01/2017 OMG I'm depressed watching this. Good enough to watch till the end butime not good enough to buy and watch again. See more Read all reviews
