Leave your thoughts about Just Jim.
| The ListHannah McGillRoberts shows more than enough skill in the film's better sequences to make his future efforts well worth keeping an eye out for. |
| The Herald (Scotland)Alison RowatJust Jim, with Roberts as Jim, is another coming of age tale, this one enlivened by the appearance of Emile Hirsch as Jim's cool new neighbour and mentor. Slight. |
| The Arts DeskDavid KettleSome of it sticks; some of it doesn't. But there's a huge amount to admire in Roberts' sheer cinematic exuberance, with a determinedly non-naturalistic perspective. |

| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsAll over the shop, but much about it is bold and lovable. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeRoberts has instantly established a creative, resourceful vision as a filmmaker, with an aptitude for presenting a story in a unique way, and forming an indelible atmosphere in the process. |
| GuardianSteve RoseThere's classy camerawork to recommend, but the story peters out. |
| User ReviewErjon Dit starts as a comedy and it develops as a noir movie. Absolutely adore it. Emile Hirsch is great, craig roberts also. A very special movie. |
| User ReviewAbe SSee this movie whatever way you can! What a debut, Craig Roberts delivers a brilliant, confident debut. Absolutely outstanding, the cinematography is excellent and the tonal shift elevates the film into something entirely of its own. Hints of Lynch and Kubrick throughout, very impressed!! |
