Sight & Sound

Thoughtful, nuanced and fun, Sanctuary subverts received ideas about disability in its very approach to filmmaking.

Independent (UK)

Christian O'Reilly's screenplay combines elements from the typical feelgood drama with harsher insights into the lives of the protagonists.

Film Ireland Magazine

The movie, rather admirably isn't black and white about the issues it raises.

Film Inquiry

What Sanctuary shows is that a film can come from humble beginnings and a small budget but can have a big outcome on society.

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

(The) casting, and the skilled performances it brings us, are sufficient reasons to find the movie heartening, but the script is also of value. Although fairly rough-hewn, it has subtle touches and it campaigns on a noteworthy topic.

Rated: 4/5
