Little White Lies

Writer/director Simon Blake's provocative debut feature taps into society's collective fear of young people in a way that will resonate with anyone who has ever lived in a major city.

Times (UK)

We are so used to seeing Aidan Gillen playing power-wielding politicos that it's almost disconcerting to see how comfortably he inhabits the skin of a character hurtling towards rock bottom in Still.

Rated: 4/5

Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

The film, set in north London, is stylishly shot and Gillen plays the troubled lead with a mercurial mix of swagger, self-loathing and self-pity.

Rated: 3/5

Aidan Gillen gives the performance of his life and is totally mesmerising on screen.

While the intimate portrayal of Tom's grief seeks to explore the contradictions of his psychology, the social commentary feels disproportionately simplistic.

Rated: 2/5

Film Ireland Magazine

Gillen portrays Carver as a somewhat latter-day Hamlet; an essentially benevolent man who struggles to retain his sanity as he seeks to apprehend his bizarre, fragmented reality through grief and psychological hostility.

Rated: 3.5/5

Excellent cinematography, mood and pacing. Great use of music. Tense, atmospheric and disturbing in just the right way! A great Brit noir thriller.

Totally original. Doesn't fall into genre tropes. Great to see a film that you cannot pin down but delivers emotionally, strong script and strong cast. A fine independent film.

A terrific movie, unintended consequences and how the actions of the male of the species at different points in their lives impact on those and society around them. Aiden Gillen is very good, better than in Maze Runner by far, and the final segment of the movie is powerful given his lead, the supporting cast is also good with Jon Slinger standing out for me. It's a film that makes you think, and the ending may even make you cry!

This film took my breath away, it robbed my heart for 90 mins and returned it slightly altered. The study of a man falling apart, the relatable reality of those crossroads we all face and how easy it is to take the wrong turn. A deeply moving film.

Absolute waste of time. The idea of the movie is not new but it's ok, everything else is b o r I n g, motionless and meaningless acting.

Strong performances and vivid production design buoy up this evocative, troubling film that shows flashes of brilliance from writer/director Simon Blake, making his feature debut.
