"Scaborough" doesn't try to shock audiences, but its attempt at a surprise is sadly predictable.

[A] queasily atmospheric drama...

Rated: 3/5

Thanks to the unusually picturesque yet bleak Scarborough seaside town, a very unromantic tone is thankfully set, making it easier to watch these two couples 'break the rules'.

Rated: 3/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

Scarborough plays at a distance to its audience, making them feel like observers rather than getting them involved and so the end result feels somewhat empty.

Shadows on the Wall

This is a powerful exploration of the nature of love and relationships, most notably the way we know for sure that we're drawn to someone, even if it might not be a good idea

Rated: 4/5

Jessica Barden's decent performance can't distract audiences out of its contrived plots and an empty ending.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Film effectively gives parallel tracks to teacher-student/older-younger illicit relationships as if to dare viewers to self-examine any differences in attitudes depending upon the couple. All four actors are capable enough to be effective and at times moving

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Interesting premise and creative filmmaking saddled down by a number of un-engaging scenes.
