Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter The pacing in Sky Peals can, like its protagonist, be too laconic at times, and a little more drama or humor would have been welcome. But the film gradually manages to work its way under the skin... Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Hannah Strong Little White Lies Hussain’s script displays a real sense of empathy, deftly exploring the emotional toll of existing as a modern man who feels out of step with the world around him, not quite part of it despite desiring closeness. Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian Sky Peals’s lugubrious air of weirdness feels a little remorseless at times, but this is an arresting first feature – unsettling and effective. Rated: 4/5 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Daniel Allen Loud and Clear Reviews Sky Peals is an intriguing sci-fi drama and a very promising debut from Moin Hussain... once you strip the sci-fi elements and the multicoloured visions, you realise how measured and universal the story is. Rated: 4/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Slow, dark and artful, this British drama won't appeal to a mainstream audience, since much of the screen-time is filled with an inexpressive young man increasingly worried about who he is Rated: 3/5 Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film An unusually intimate, exploratory film underscored by dry humour, Sky Peals has an atmosphere that you won’t find anywhere else. Rated: 5/5 Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
