Movie was lost in what it was trying to portray. I found it a bit boring and I couldn't connect with either of the characters. 1 1/2 stars because the main point of the film was divided, but it had great acting from all of them, great cinematography, and good soundtrack though.

Just catch 80% of the conversations/dialog because they using a heavy british accent -.-, but i think in the end of the story Julian Morris character (Victor) has finally accepted the kinky sadomasochistic sex style that Kelly always perform when they're making love, because he finally wants it and enjoy it (i think) it give him a some kind of feeling that makes him able to escape from his crappy life.. :(

Unusual little film with an exceptional performance from Antonia but the book is way better. The film missed the books structure. Worth a watch though

Its well shot and well acted, but Evans adaptation of the novel is ultimately a bit lacking.

Sensual, provocative and (yes!) dangerously romantic.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Antonia Campbell-Hughes and Julian Morris are impressively raw and unguarded as the doomed lovers, their nerves exposed for all to see as the roots of their angst are increasingly laid bare.

Rated: 3/5

Patrick Peters

Empire Magazine

An unabashedly full-frontal exploration of sex and sexuality that's weighed down by distracting subplots.

Rated: 3/5

Well-acted and creatively directed, Kelly + Victor is... what happens when two worlds collide.

Rated: 3/5

Ben Nicholson

CineVue

It strives to tackle difficult subject matter but is never really edgy enough, and as an exercise in typical British drama -- kitchen-kink, if you will -- it fails to engage on the all-important emotional level.

Rated: 2/5

Film Threat

Kieran Evans' Kelly + Victor is an intense study of the fine line between tenderness and aggression in romantic relationships.
