Movie Reviews

Daily Express (UK) - 8/10 by Allan Hunter[A] powerful, thought-provoking documentary ...
Fan The Fire - 8/10 by Martin RobertsIt' s a film that reminds us about the inequality that persists in our country; about the racial tensions that shamefully still hold sway; and how community can provide hope and comfort.
The Big Issue - 8/10 by Edward LawrensonIn an electrifying scene, Duggan's aunt urges restraint. "Instead of showing our anger, show our tears," she says. To its great credit, this urgent, sadly relevant film isn't short of either.
MovieMail - 8/10 by Mike McCahillSuch sequences speak to the film's laudable honesty, and its overriding determination to present the audience with the grimmer realities of its subjects' situation.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Kate MuirThe director George Amponsah embeds himself in north London to unravel the background, and the subjects of his powerful documentary are Duggan's best friends.
Film Inquiry - 8/10 by Stephanie RobertsonThe Hard Stop reveals the effect on society when we systemically 'crop' how people are portrayed to suit our own agenda, rather than aiming for a more objective truth.
Time Out - 8/10 by Dave CalhounAn essential watch if you want better to understand the city and people around you.
The List - 8/10 by Emma SimmondsAmponsah's access and the intimacy of his insights make the film deeply personal, but carefully drawn out wider resonances mean that it doubles as a compassionate portrait of black masculinity in crisis.
CineVue - 8/10 by Ben NicholsonThe visuals are undeniably impressive at times, as Henry parkours around the city or during a particularly tense shoot-out, but they also struggle with inevitable motion sickness of the frenetic handheld camerawork.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by David ParkinsonUnflinching in its eschewal of objectivity, this provides a unique perspective on a notorious case, while correcting some of the impressions about urban black youth the media cravenly peddled in its aftermath.
