David Parkinson Empire Magazine Assiduously controlled and impeccably played, this cunningly convoluted thriller keeps both the protagonist and the viewer guessing until the slickly cynical climax. Rated: 3/5 Jul 24, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) The ominous chill of the sound design and decent work from an impressive cast help to create an atmosphere that sucks the very oxygen from the cinema as the tension mounts. Rated: 3/5 Jul 23, 2017 Full Review Josh Howey Little White Lies Very little is memorable outside of the cinematography and sound design. Rated: 2/5 Jul 21, 2017 Full Review Louise Burrell One Room With A View At just 91 carefully constructed minutes, this taut thriller showcases a stunning lead performance from Cluzet and a gripping storyline that keeps you hooked until the final showdown. Rated: 4/5 Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf Suspense drives the (violent at times) plot and ultimately all the loose ends are satisfyingly tied up. Rated: 3/5 Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Matthew Anderson CineVue The insularity and scaled-down political intrigue of Scribe limit its impact and is representative of a slightly misguided film trying too hard to be something it can't quite become. Rated: 2/5 Dec 27, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
