3.5/4
A warmhearted, quietly ambitious film. Go to Full Review David Gritten Daily Telegraph (UK) 07/02/2010
4/5
One hesitates to over-praise such a delicate, small-scale work, but Whitfield seems like a major talent. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 07/01/2010
4/5
Balancing oddity and fantasy with real emotions and pain is a difficult trick to pull off. Whitfield has managed it nicely. Go to Full Review Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls 03/09/2019
Packed with crisp British humor and touching moments, Skeletons may lose you a few times during some of the trippier memory sequences, but hang in there. Its charm will win you over by the end. Go to Full Review Molly Templeton Eugene Weekly (OR) 02/27/2019
The way [Nick] Whitfield never bounds his characters' existences with biography, gives Skeletons the resonance of a short story that contains an entire life, painted on a tiny canvas but composed of vital details that tell all the important truths.

3/5
It's decidedly low budget, but sufficiently inventive enough to have won the Michael Powell prize for being the best of British at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

mark r 09/14/2021 Brilliant, quirky comedy-drama. See more 08/23/2020 Bring some subtle existentialism into a timeless frame of English countryside, add it with psychic exorcism slash astral time migration Roald Dahl style, and then a dash of Terry Gilliam or perhaps Emir Kusturica humor together with Bulgarian music, and it's truly not very easy to tell what you get. Something special and almost great. One thing is certain, it's out of the ordinary, and the acting and cinematography is very good. See more 03/11/2018 A quirky and interesting tale. Not outstanding in any area, but a very pleasant way to spend 90 minutes. See more 10/22/2016 Enjoyed this film so much since the first time I stumbled across it. Very funny, a bit silly, and also quite sad. But with a happy ending too. See more 05/08/2015 Creative, funny and touching. This film just works from all angles. See more 03/17/2015 Quirky, off beat and charming. Holds the interest throughout with strong cast & characters, and an unpredictable plot. Absolutely loved it See more Read all reviews
