Wild teen Kevin Coyle grapples with guilt over a deadly secret. As his world unravels and consequences mount, Kevin is pushed to confront the truth in a heart-wrenching climax that will change him forever.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

The vice-like grip of The Swallow’s escalating tension is complemented by Christopher White’s sorrowful score, Aza Hand and Adrian Conway’s Ifta-winning sound design and Richard Kendrick’s lush cinematography.

Rated: 4/5

Harry Guerin

RTÉ (Ireland)

The metaphor involving the wounded bird of the film's title is laboured, but overall this is a job well done and a fine showcase of acting talent right across a cast.

Rated: 3/5

Film Ireland Magazine

Walking the line between drama and psychological thriller, The Sparrow delivers equal parts intrigue and emotion.

Chris Wasser

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

It's an unusual film, heavy-handed and melodramatic, but beautifully shot and neatly performed. Seek it out.

Rated: 3/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

The Sparrow gives nothing away easily and holds you so tightly all the way through until the very last frame.

Rated: 8.5/10

Washington City Paper

O’Hara is the real highlight of the film. In a performance that grows more complex as you watch, he adds notes of regret and pain.
