Donald Clarke Irish Times The end result is suffocating and dislocating. That was almost certainly the intention. Rated: 4/5 Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian Peter Mackie Burns's painful, unhappy drama packs a hard punch; you must steel yourself for the emotional blows. Rated: 3/5 Sep 30, 2020 Full Review Jamie Dunn Sight & Sound Peter Mackie Burns realises that an elliptical cut can be just as powerful as a fistfight or shouting match, and an ambiguous final shot more satisfying than a pat conclusion. Nov 22, 2019 Full Review David Reddish Queerty Rialto raises questions about how much fear and danger can add to sexual allure. It also benefits from a fantastic performance by Vaughn-Lawlor. Rated: 3/4 Mar 20, 2022 Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens Pretty Woman on the Dublic docks. Rated: 4/5 Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Mark Cassidy Scannain A bleak, moving study of the devastating effects of loss, alienation and masculinity in crisis. Rated: 4/5 Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
