Kevin Maher Times (UK) Surprisingly palatable, even powerful at times. Rated: 4/5 Dec 5, 2021 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Peake's evolution onscreen is a marvel. Rated: 3/5 Dec 5, 2021 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Here, the mist-shrouded farm and its environs are artfully photographed and framed, and the result is a film that is not only strong and uncompromising but also exceptionally beautiful. Rated: 4/5 Jul 30, 2021 Full Review Joseph Walsh The Arts Desk Manages to demonstrate exceptional filmmaking skills whilst delivering a captivating plot that's brimming with ideas and a stand-out lead performance. Dec 5, 2021 Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground A work made with a distinctive vision... benefits from Peake's ferocious and arresting work in the eponymous role. Sep 12, 2021 Full Review Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) It's a worthwhile film to watch provided you're keen on the subject matter and you know going in it's going to get pretty real in that final act.

Audience Member What an awful film....simply awful..alleged professional critics love this tosh? Well of course they do Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Angela G Sorry I was not a fan of this movie! Yes it seemed to be well written and good acting. Although it was a story of a woman "delivered" from one psychotic religion to just another similar one. Maybe that's how it was in those days but this is not a good story with a True Deliverance Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolute horrid story, promotes rape and and forcible drugging. Depicts some freedom from strict religious life and replaced with the God complex Thomas who believes all of his wants are righteous and godly. When in truth he is a drunken, drugged sociopath who derives pleasure by inflicting violence on others. Quit watching during the rape scene. Good Riddance. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Liam D A true and faithful to its time period and a WTF Experience Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/16/21 Full Review david b One of a kind - love something completely different. Basically a 'based on true events' depiction of the early Quakers' roots. I have great respect for their ethos and I'm an atheist through and through.
