Sophie Monks Kaufman Sight & Sound The film elides conventional descriptions. It is something truly collective – radical in ways that challenge not just neurodiverse stereotypes, but the film industry’s standard ways of telling a story. Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Alex Hopkins-McQuillan Little White Lies In its oblique, non-linear style, The Stimming Pool is quite unlike anything else out there. Rated: 4/5 Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Ingenious, funny, intellectually curious -- and pregnant with ideas. It is all about how autism shapes creativity and makes sense of the self, and it gives a new kind of access to the mysterious and the uncanny. Rated: 4/5 Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Kevin Harley Radio Times Experimental and engaging, the result aims to show how the world might look from the viewpoints of people with autism. Rated: 4/5 Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Victoria Luxford City AM While not a flawless endeavour, The Stimming Pool goes some way to bridging the gap in public understanding of a condition that for too long has been misunderstood. Rated: 3/5 Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf [The Stimming Pool] gives an unusual insight into what it means to be neurodivergent and the special edge it gives to creativity. Rated: 3/5 Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
