| Screen InternationalMark AdamsJoanna Hogg's follow-up to her acclaimed 2007 debut Unrelated is an impressively staged and impressively understated drama. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThere is something exacting and audacious in it, something superbly controlled in its composition and technique. The clarity of her film-making diction is a marvel – even, or perhaps especially, when the nature of the story itself remains murkily unrevealed. |
| Little White LiesTom SeymourHogg is inviting us to dismiss these people as fundamentally different to ourselves. But sat in a dark auditorium, we are merely laughing at each other. |
| Fan The FireNick DeigmanJoanna Hogg is the shining light of the UK Film Industry. She has saved us from another embarrassing LFF, and she has done it all without the help of the incompetent UK Film Council. |
| Real.comLisa Giles-KeddieFascinating and confident film-making style of lengthy character improvisation ... a very slow burner that gives the opportunity to 'people watch' on screen. |
