Anna Stafford Little White Lies 4d
Wright asks us to keep rooting for someone we can see doing real harm, which is exactly what makes Mission so singular. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Aug 17
An atmospheric study of slightly less youthful alienation, trauma and psychological collapse that confirms the director’s stylistic vigor and seriousness of purpose as a storyteller. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Aug 17
3/5
To be honest, Mission is flawed. Some of the action is a bit drama-school-improv... But Mission is a serious film about a serious, relevant subject: the mental health of young men. Go to Full Review Ross McIndoe The Skinny 3d
3/5

4/5
It’s a bold and, in its own way, beautiful piece of filmmaking. Go to Full Review Shannon Connellan Mashable Aug 17
Through MacKay's fearless performance, Wright's discombobulating style, and a timely theme, the film wrestles with existence and connection, balancing darkness and light, despair and hope. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
