Mark Kermode Observer (UK) A pair of electrifying performances lie at the heart of this terrific first feature by writer-director Fyzal Boulifa, a modern fable of tested friendships and public shaming. Rated: 5/5 Jul 5, 2020 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) The astonishing debut feature director Fyzal Boulifa teases apart the themes without once hitting you over the head with them. Rated: 4/5 Jul 5, 2020 Full Review Beth Webb Empire Magazine Boasting two impressive performances - especially from Scrimshaw, a major street-cast win - Lynn + Lucy begins with tragedy in a small town, but it's the larger study of mob culture in our country that will linger. Rated: 4/5 Jul 3, 2020 Full Review Becky Kukla The Digital Fix A quietly powerful tableaux of grief, friendship and working class realities with phenomenal performances throughout. Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Lucy Buglass Lucy Goes to Hollywood Lynn + Lucy is a tragic, sometimes amusing, look at working class families and close knit communities, as well as the devastating effects of a personal tragedy. Rated: 4/5 Jul 26, 2020 Full Review Tom Beasley Flickering Myth It's an occasionally harrowing but always gripping drama that wields its emotive power with impressive sophistication and storytelling flair that's far more than just "misery porn". Rated: 4/5 Jul 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

isla s This is a British drama film - a sobering tale of two close friends who find themselves forced apart by the judgements of others. I found it quite a sobering watch. I could see that things weren't as they may initially seem and that one of them needed help, rather than being looked at in the way they were. Its not a cheery watch but its perhaps somewhat thought provoking and the lead performances are good, so I'd recommend it on that basis. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
