Jonathan Romney Financial Times There is an undeniable strain of sitcom here, but also a distinct tenderness accompanying the desolation. Rated: 4/5 Dec 21, 2023 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies Rambling and unfocused, despite a couple of stand-out moments and soulful central turn. Rated: 2/5 Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian There’s a strange emotional dynamic here, although there is something interesting in Leigh’s refusal to bow to the bland injunction to make characters relatable. Rated: 3/5 Dec 18, 2023 Full Review James Saynor The Arts Desk It’s an ambling, facetious character-piece about hopeless classless numpties going round in circles, a film with surprisingly zero dud notes for a first-time moviemaker. Sweet Sue is a reminder that we have pretty good casting directors, too. Rated: 4/5 Dec 23, 2023 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Despite taking some time to get going, Sweet Sue still thoroughly delights thanks to its oddball charm. Rated: 3/4 Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Nadine Whitney AWFJ.org Sue, sweet, funny, exasperated, Sue is the heart of Leigh’s film and for every “Fuck’s sake” she mutters, the audience is right there with her.
