Little White Lies

The film has cheap and cheerful vibes, formally stripped back to the core but powered by some game performances and a script that’s lightly peppered with some wry social observation.

Rated: 3/5

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

This whole fiasco supposedly brings the three women together for a 93-minute non-story, superficially eventful but paralysed by its utter implausibility and dullness.

Rated: 2/5

Rich Cline

Shadows on the Wall

Gently amusing, this light British lark mixes offbeat characters and caper-like antics without ever boiling over into a hilarious comedy. But it's bright and enjoyable, assembled with care.

Rated: 3/5

Alexa Dalby

Dog and Wolf

Nothing and no one in this disjointed film bears any relation to real people or their reactions or their behaviour or how they speak to each other.

Rated: 2/5

The Arts Desk

All in all, in spite of an impressive cast, the movie doesn’t quite gel but it’s still strangely uplifting in a gentle way.

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

Portraits of Dangerous Women feels like a set of sitcom episodes just haphazardly stapled together, and not even a particularly funny sitcom.

Rated: 2.5/5

A peculiar film, gently amusing and touching. It takes its time, but is ultimately very rewarding. Wonderful performances throughout. Left the cinema with a smile on my face.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Strangely beautiful, with an impressive and skillful cast but the sparse, modernist approach makes for a more challenging view. Original, intriguing, with some stunning scenes.

Yes, this is worth a viewing. Enchanting, poignant and actually pretty funny. It's a well-crafted movie that wants to entertain its audience. Still in my thoughts. Rich, fresh, visually wonderful. Bit special.

The more I think about this movie, the more I appreciate it. It's creativity is situational and intense. It's in the cuts, in the script and in the music. The way the shots have been filmed is comical and bizzare which I love. The main question - what does a man know about dangerous women? I would say nothing. There are no dangerous women in this movie, it's a prank.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Can’t figure out what it’s trying to be. Tara Fitzgerald does an admirable job but the script is all over the place and there’s know heart to come back to.
