Ian Freer Time Out 09/11/2024
3/5
Sky Peals lacks compelling conflicts and narrative fireworks, but Hussain’s film is a mood. The director and his cinematographer, Nick Cooke, shooting on 35mm film, effectively find the otherworldly in the ordinary. Go to Full Review Yasmin Omar Empire Magazine 08/20/2024
3/5
Sky Peals builds tension effectively, but stops short of meaningfully engaging with its chosen (and very worthwhile) themes. Still, if it’s a creepy-mood piece you’re after, this fits the bill. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) 08/15/2024
It's using the science fiction idea, in the way that science fiction should be used, which is to talk about things that are completely down to earth. Go to Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media Feb 12
This British indie sci-fi is a strange but likable tale of an outsider finding himself increasingly cut off despite very much living in the modern world. Go to Full Review Eric Langberg Everything's Interesting 09/29/2024
The whole thing would fall apart without its central performance, but Faraz Ayub gives the movie its touching emotional core. It’s one of the most tender, nuanced depictions of depression that I think I’ve ever seen. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nick B Mar 25 Very slow to start with, quite grim, and doesn’t pick up a great deal in pace. It took me a litte while to fully engage, but it drew me in entirely as the narrative progressed. Turned out to be a very rewarding emotional journey. Highly recommended. See more THE D Dec 12 So slow I could barely stay with it. Doesn’t get better at the end. Wish I hadn’t paid to rent it See more Read all reviews
