Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard 10/28/2011
2/5
Thanks to the posturing, intrusive soundtrack and implausible, clichd script, it's hard to take any of it too seriously. Go to Full Review
Anna Smith Empire Magazine 10/27/2011
3/5
Despite some confusing narrative turns, writer-director Nirpal Bhogal's thriller is an impactful and authentic look at gang culture on London's meaner streets. Go to Full Review

2/5
A film that, for all its grit and attitude, lacks sufficient cred. Go to Full Review
Philip French Observer (UK) 10/30/2011
It's a confused and confusing movie with odd good moments, but has little by way of revealing insight other than the suggestion that the girl gangsters need loving parents and the protection of a nurturing family. Go to Full Review

02/14/2021 Loved this film great to see girl gangs rather than the usual male ones See more 09/19/2014 It should have been me who killed him. A gang violently attacks a girl killing her. The girl's sixteen year old little sister wants revenge for the death of her sister and best friend and joins a ruthless female gang; however, even the ruthless female gang doesn't dare mess with the gang that killed the girl's sister. When the female gang sees the ruthless gang in action, and impacting some of their own, they may change their mind. "Still murking people?" "Still fucking them?" Nirpal Bhogal, director of episodes from the television series Misfits, delivers Skets in his directorial debut. The storyline for this picture is unique in the way it is told and is about a stray young lady and contains a sub plot of a female gang with nothing to lose. I did enjoy the concept and character development. The acting was also pretty good and the cast includes Lily Loveless, Riann Steele, Aimee Kelly, Emma Hartley-Miller, Richie Campbell, Ashley Walters, and Adelayo Adedayo. "You going to do something useful with yourself?" Sket is a movie I came across on Netflix that was recommended to me. The reviews were fairly high so I gave it a chance. I will say this is better than average and contains some unique qualities, but this is far from a classic for the genre. This is an interesting coming of age mixed with gangster film. I would watch this once but wouldn't add it to my DVD collection. "You fucking made me!" Grade: C+ See more 12/11/2013 Really really bad. Do not waste your time watching this crap. Worst of it is how the story progress. Character motivations are laughable and it feels like scenario was written by a mediocre 12 yo. See more 09/04/2013 Another terrible gritty drama, in London, on a council estate, crucifying the english language. When you've seen one you've seen them all. See more 12/24/2012 Pretty Good! EXCELLENT MUSIC! I Will be Downloading Soundtrack ! See more 11/22/2012 Only watched as it had Lily Loveless in as I love her from Skins. This film was really boring, felt rushed and the ending was really dull. It should of been a longer film, it felt like I was watching an episode of Shameless, an hour long and left with a cliffhanger wanting more. I wouldn't bother watching this film.
