Leave your thoughts about Better Things.
| Film4Jon FortgangBleak yet powerful, hushed yet haunting, this is an extraordinary portrait of lives dissolving away into nothing in the chilly English countryside. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerBleak, depressing but stunningly directed, Better Things is an unforgettable film that marks Duane Hopkins as a British talent to watch. |
| Electric SheepPamela JahnAlthough the film is flawed... it offers a powerful evocation of the desperate, tongue-tied helplessness that sets its various characters in motion, and which, in the film's riveting moments, echoes uneasily in the mind. |
| Sight and SoundJonathan RomneyAn inventive, unclichéd example of British realism which shines a light into rarely explored social territory and the unexamined lives of its characters. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineBritish filmmaker Hopkins throws out the rules and breaks ground with a significant new cinematic storytelling language |
| EscribiendoCineJuan Pablo RussoDuane Hopkins revealed a singularity and a talent that he later confirmed. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| La Nación (Argentina)María Fernanda MugicaThe film is an example of British realism with virtues. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Time OutDavid JenkinsThe ironies are always cruel and never comic in British writer-director Duane Hopkins's striking debut, an austere, though empathetic, insightful and technically crisp slice of social realism. |
| Little White LiesSophie IvanThe film has a powerful, impressionistic style. Scenes are shot in suffocating, distorting close-up or at an equally stifling distance, revealing the sublime, indifferent landscape. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Edward PorterThis approach is well handled, giving the film a constant chilly allure, but there are some trite scenes in the stories that unfold. |
