David Parkinson Radio Times The dialogue may sound a little stiff and didactic today, but the points raised about elitism and inequality remain soberingly pertinent. Rated: 4/5 Feb 9, 2024 Full Review Kieron Moore Starburst While these issues are powerful and indeed still relevant, however, the lack of subtlety with which they come to a head in the final minutes may grate on some viewers. Rated: 7/10 Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Edgar Anstey The Spectator It's a hard world for the independent producers. Yet it must be admitted that they do not assist themselves by making films like They Came to a City. Oct 4, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Paul G The concept is pretty and might be a worthwhile remake but the acting is not great and the script is poor and dated. It is an interesting film though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
