Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Jun 15
The plot is a little thin and meandering, but Mullan’s heartbreaking performance means it achieves a balance of absurdity and real pathos. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) Jun 12
It is an odd film... It does have a distinct sensibility. Go to Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out Jun 11
3/5
Mullan makes it worth the watch, conveying deep sadness behind the eager fanboying, as well as the kind of mute rage that he makes him the closest thing cinema has to a lit fuse. Go to Full Review Tom Shone Sunday Times (UK) Jun 16
2/5
Dunn's film is a bone-dry comedy about the indignities of repackaged history that is a little too in love with its own low key. Go to Full Review Calum Cooper In Their Own League Jun 14
3/5
It doesn’t have quite the punch that a more refined film on this topic would, but, as far as feature debuts go, this one achieves a bittersweet pathos that proves difficult not to empathise with. Go to Full Review Dulcie Pearce The Sun (UK) Jun 12
3/5
