David Robinson The Times (UK) 05/12/2023
It is a film of excessive pretension to sensibility and atmosphere, which means that there is a great deal of walking around, lingering looks of indecipherable meaning, and endless pauses between lines. Go to Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times 05/12/2023
Reflections is like accidentally locking yourself in a greenhouse on a hot summer afternoon. Though surrounded by fragrant blooms and exotic greenery, all you want to do is smash a window and get out. Go to Full Review Patrick Gibbs Daily Telegraph (UK) 05/12/2023
Finely acted though by a largely Irish cast, and photographed by Mike Molloy -- indeed an admirable piece of craftsmanship from which only magic is missing. Go to Full Review Tom Milne Observer (UK) 05/12/2023
It turns into a devastatingly precise dissection of the academic mind, a comedy of manners that isn't so much funny as jarringly caustic in its revelation of human inadequacy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
