| Time OutAnna SmithIt’s well performed and a periodically fascinating study of Bradford’s seedy underbelly that’s rarely seen on film |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyLead actors Byrne and Deen do grounded, stalwart work, and director Mitu Misra occasionally succeeds in making the characters’ milieu’s register with force. But the storytelling is rickety. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondThere's lots of atmosphere and dramatic potential here, but tangled story-telling and jump-cut editing combine to ensure it's never quite realised. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawDespite some very talented actors doing their level best and lending what substance they can, this is a pretty leaden and unconvincing film, further hampered by a cheesy and intrusive musical score. |
| Little White LiesElla KempNothing to reflect on, nothing to question and nothing to care about. |
| Observer (UK)Simran HansThe film is hindered by clunky dialogue and strained performances from minor characters ... |
| Total FilmMatt LookerA film that also aims for gangster grit, community awareness and emotional impact, but compromises on everything. |
| EmpireNick de SemlyenA well-meaning look at the issue of arranged marriage, garnished with some Hollywood star power, but it’s too meandering and sluggish to grip. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineA fairly standard British thriller, this is a slickly made but murky, mopey movie with an unfocussed plot that gets lost in the manipulative editing |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonAny meager pleasures that Lies We Tell offers are purely technical. |
