Cath Clarke Guardian As the film becomes more ruminative, it does start to sag; Ihere’s one dream sequence too many and far too much screen time given to a ram, as magnificent as he is. It’s a slightly unsatisfactory conclusion to an impressive film. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall If the film sometimes feels like its spinning in circles, and even if the characters are underdeveloped, there's a churning intensity that keeps us gripped. Rated: 3/5 Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Gavin Spoors FILMHOUNDS Magazine The Ceremony is a strong feature debut from Jack King that highlights a particular immigrant experience through gorgeous cinematography and an engrossing narrative.
