Leave your thoughts about Bypass.
| The PlaylistJessica KiangOverusing lens-flare-y wooziness and a handheld, shallow depth of field aesthetic in an effort to inject a kind of lyricism into its dehumanized urban environments and working-class interiors, "Bypass" never settles into anything like a compelling rhythm. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineAfter Pride, young British actor George MacKay returns to a much smaller scale of filmmaking for this dark, moody English drama... |
| Observer (UK)Jonathan RomneyThe hard-bitten terseness doesn't stop a faint glimmer of sentiment leaking in, but Hopkins is a stylist and a social observer with a cogent personal signature. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirAnother sensitive performance from George MacKay (last seen in Pride) gives Duane Hopkins's drama Bypass a solid emotional core. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawA welcome corrective to Benefits Street-type cynicism. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonFor all the doughty naturalism of the performances, the photography, editing and sound design, the film feels overly detached from the reality it is supposed to be conveying. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeHopkins inclination to be artistic and creative, while admirable, does little but ensure this production revels far more in the style, and not quite so much in the substance. |
| User ReviewAdam MThis Film in it's narrative complexity weaves together a story of despondent youth in the backdrop of a fractured society, an England within an England. Engrossed as you are in the unique visual style of the film, you cant help but get drawn into the struggles of the Central charterer played by a transfixing George Mackay. This film asks a simple question is Morality a Luxury, and if Britain is Broken then who broke it. One of the grittiest urban dramas to hit UK screens this year. |
