Guardian

The pacing proves sluggish, and the adaptation broadly unpersuasive: a fifth-former’s creative writing assignment, with clunky exposition and potential elements of autobiography that elicit sporadic cringes.

Rated: 2/5

The Upcoming

The Drowning of Alex Braxton effortlessly balances its melancholic themes of bullying, depression and alcoholism with a wry sense of humour and sense of wonderment.

Rated: 3/5
