Movie Reviews

Screen International - 7/10 by Fionnuala HalliganJunkhearts does boast a memorably vulnerable performance by Marsans who commits fully to Krishnan's direction.
Real.com - 6/10 by Lisa Giles-KeddieAptly named as the characters purge their tickers in their quest for redemption. Expect another bleak tale of inner-city hardship and self pity ...
Total Film - 6/10 by Matt GlasbyIt's an impressive two-hander about sensitive souls facing stark realities - the lovers who life forces to become fighters.
Little White Lies - 6/10 by Lee GriffithsA gritty, self-assured directorial debut.
CineVue - 6/10 by Holly CooperJunkhearts is worth watching for the impressive perfomances by Reid and Marsan.
Variety - 4/10 by Guy LodgeThe moral of this structurally addled urban drama could be summed up more simply: It's generally not a good idea to let homeless addicts move into your apartment.
Empire Magazine - 4/10 by Damon WiseStrong cast, disappointing characters and a plot that's as thin as discount plonk.
User Review - 10/10 by Sara SExcellent piece of british film making! Amazing cast and production!
User Review - 10/10 by Simon PIt is rare that you find a film with such a good cast. Eddie Marsan, Tom Sturridge, Romala Garai and Shaun Dooley are already established names and are as brilliant as expected if not better in Junkhearts. But what really impressed me was that there were no weak links. Candies Reid, in her first film exploded on screen making me laugh and cry, her performance was amazing and I expect to see her gracing us with her presence on screen very soon. Junkhearts is a film of pure class and I couldâ(TM)t be more complimentary of it. So great to see a team of british professionals in front and behind the camera pull together such a brilliant piece of film.
User Review - 10/10 by Ryan OI've just seen Junkhearts at Chapter Arts centre in Cardiff. I saw Junkhearts solely because I'm a big fan of Eddie Marsan and wanted to see him in a lead role, as I think he's a fantastic actor with a great range and a lightness of touch. As expected Eddie Marsan was fantastic, here playing an ex-solider, and brought a freshness to quite a now archetypal character. Familiar as this archetype is, the character is normally played out in a flat depressed state that flies off the handle at a moments notice. Instead the director Tinge Krishnan chooses to create a distance between the character of Frank and everybody else, in terms of the acting, the cropped framing, the use of negative space, and specific points of focus, which works really effectively. Within Junkhearts we are also introduced to newcomer Candese Reid, who was found at Nottingham's Television Workshop â" famous for Paddy Considine and the This Is England cast. Her character Lynette works her way under Frank's emotional barrier, fully realised in a spine-tingling scene where Frank cracks his first smile we've seen, bathed in gorgeous sun light. The performances of Frank and Lynette felt truthful and authentic and I felt sympathetic to each character and that's a testament to the director. Furthermore, the execution of the script really engaged me throughout. It was incredibly shot by Catherine Derry, I loved the self-defence/dance scene seeped in sunflare, the lovely bokeh in the bar scene with Shaun Dooley and Romola Garai, the bleak scenes in and around the tower block and lifts, the uncomfortable framing with Eddie when he's having flashbacks, the lovely slow-motion when he dances, and I loved the practical lighting, and the strip lighting inside the flat. If you like the work of Lynne Ramsay, Andrea Arnold, Mike Leigh, and Shane Meadows, Junkhearts could be right up your street. One to watch in 2012.
