Shadows on the Wall

The central themes are vivid, exploring how life changes without notice and how difficult it is to confront or make up for past mistakes.

Rated: 3/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

Luckily though, the characters and script have been very well thought out and the issues raised are dealt with sensitively.

Film Threat

If you're looking for a low-key, character-driven, existential little drama, you and Klein's film will get on like a house on fire.

Rated: 7/10

The Film Stage

Klein could have written [Danny and Thérèse] very differently and pushed Dara to a much darker place as a result, but he chose to embrace hope instead.

Rated: B

Sarah Sutherland is outstanding and does a great job and is the film's standout. An emotional story that sometimes relies to much on heart wrenching moments.
