Leave your thoughts about Shifty.
| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessA tightly-structured, hard-working thriller with a raw feel for character and place, and an optimistic outlook on the need for friendship and taking responsibility for one's actions. |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnDrug crime on the outskirts of London sounds neither promising nor original, but Eran Creevy's debut feature is more character study than the usual Britcrim parade of guns and geezers. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Cosmo LandesmanThe dialogue is a nice mix of Pinteresque menace, drug lingo, laddism and cracking one-liners. |
| Empire MagazineDan JolinGood central performances in this highly, entertaining character-driven debut. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThe film has a sense of authenticity and there's no sentimental suggestion that Shifty's way of life is the inevitable result of his background. |
| Total FilmEllen E JonesMercifully free of Danny Dyer cameos or Guy Ritchie mockneyisms, this works as both an entertaining gangster thriller and a hard-hitting piece of social realism. Absorbing, moving and authentic, Shifty never once strikes a false note. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawFirst-time director Eran Creevy kicks things up a notch with this shrewd and engaging drama, achieved on the smallest of budgets. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThe story may not be entirely unfamiliar but writer/director Eran Creevy transforms autobiographical material into an engaging, energetic little drama that is full of promise. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmCouched in a kind of Pinteresque slum language that needs a glossary to be totally intelligible, the film boasts an authenticity and wholly natural performances, particularly from Mays, and is devoid of the usual clichés of its genre. |
| Film4Ali CatterallCreevy eschews the woozy, arthouse ambience of Duane Hopkins' Better Things - another portrait of a drug-decimated community - for naturalistic dialogue and performances within carefully framed and composed shots; properly cinematic, grown-up direction. |
