Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

The excellent central performances carry the story: Patel’s physicality shifts between the power and magnetism of Aysha and the gentleness of Ashiq... And Hardy is terrific.

Ella Kemp

Empire Magazine

A compelling if formulaic star-crossed lovers’ narrative. Come for a wordless seduction, stay for the complexities of parenthood, drag queens and family loyalties that deserve more of your time.

Rated: 3/5

Time Out

In his debut big-screen performance, the warm-hearted and witty Patel – like Aysha – steals the show.

Rich Cline

Shadows on the Wall

This is an astute look at the collision between inner desires and outside pressures, and it's a knowing reminder that you can't be true to anyone if you're not first true to yourself.

Rated: 4/5

The Pink Lens

A well-crafted genre movie that can comfortably rest on the talent of its actors, who instil a giant beating heart at the centre of this very watchable film.

Film Feeder

It’s a wonderful and exceptionally heartfelt film that, once again, proves that no matter the background or the situation, love finds constant ways to sneak into one’s life.

Captures something the intensity of the need to be seen for who one is. As someone once said, "personal growth is a community enterprise" but so then is a refusal to grow. Happy endings come from choosing the hard road of Truth, and choosing your family wisely so that one can become who one truly is. This is a Great Film.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
