Derek Malcolm Guardian Whatever its limitations -- and there are some -- it tries very hard to get near to what things are like here and now, what pressures people face and what they do about them. Mar 20, 2020 Full Review Tom Milne Time Out Well worth a look for its odd mixture of romanticism and scepticism about society's future. Mar 20, 2020 Full Review Margaret Hinxman Daily Telegraph (UK) [Writer-director Barney Platts-Mills] is undeniably a considerable talent and the film surely deserves better than the limited release it is currently getting. Mar 20, 2020 Full Review Dilys Powell Sunday Times (UK) The direction has a kind of authority: it doesn't merely promise, it performs. What it performs, or rather displays, I find apotropaic. But that is far better than feeling indifferent. Mar 20, 2020 Full Review Paul Dale The List Barney Platts-Mills' 1971 film is undoubtedly one of the great lost British masterpieces of the 1970s. Rated: 5/5 Mar 20, 2020 Full Review TV Guide Staff TV Guide Far from impressive. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 3, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
