Leave your thoughts about The Fear of 13.
| VarietyScott Tobias"The Fear of 13" is the classic stranger-than-fiction scenario, but it's also a testament to the power of storytelling, which can make the truth sound like embellishment. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThis is virtuoso film-making only partially let down by its artifice. |
| The ListNikki BaughanYarris was at the mercy of a faceless machine he could not understand, let alone control. Now, over 30 years since his arrest, Sington's captivating, compelling film offers him the most poetic of justice. |
| Time OutDave CalhounThis gripping documentary reels you in, closer and closer, finally playing its hand in the closing moments. |
| Radio TimesTrevor JohnstonA fascinating, compelling and ultimately very moving true story. |
| Times (UK)Ed PottonThe Fear of 13 is riveting and that's mainly due to its extraordinary subject. |
| Electric SheepSarah CroninIt's a striking, compelling film that is incredibly personal. Yet, it's hard, at the end, not to feel as though we've been manipulated by both the filmmaker and Yarris. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeNot so much an interviewee as a monologuist, Yarris leads us on a labyrinthine journey that has as much to say about the art of storytelling as it does about the iniquities of crime and punishment. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe story of Nick Yarris is an extraordinary one - but this documentary about him is a missed opportunity. |
