Kevin Maher The Times (UK) None of this quite coheres as a single storytelling vision, however — all that remains is the horror. Rated: 2/5 Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The movie is well acted, and honestly attempts to encompass the unbearable grief suffered by the family, although the bizarre element of mystery and the hateful political malice of IS... can’t really be represented. Rated: 3/5 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review James Saynor The Arts Desk This “small” film is a big canvas of resilience and introspection and weeping. People may not flock to it, but the distributor deserves credit for putting it out because it’s the kind of reason many of us grew up needing cinema. Rated: 5/5 Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall This is a bold, beefy story that is packed with riveting events and interactions. And its warm undercurrent is hugely engaging. Rated: 4/5 Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Achour does a fine job of binding us to his adolescent hero’s perspective, as the boy tries to process the death and what it means within the limited framework of ideas available to him. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Siobhan Synnot Scotsman Despite a string of awards at film festivals, including the Red Sea’s Golden Yusr, it has taken Red Path three years to get a UK theatrical release, but its focus on childhoods violated by war has never felt more timely, potent, or provocative.
