Movie Reviews

Times (UK) - 8/10 by Kevin MaherThe camera is held at kiddie height, the close-ups are all Lucy's, and the adult world is viewed with deep suspicion as a cold and unforgiving place. It's a tough watch, and justifiably uncompromising.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Philip De SemlyenPoignant, perceptive and unrelenting, this may be bleak, like all great drama, it is ultimately uplifting as well.
Shadows on the Wall - 8/10 by Rich ClineMorton shows a remarkable confidence as director of this intensely personal drama, which is loosely based on her own experiences.
Guardian - 8/10 by Xan BrooksThe climactic scene, in which Morton's heroine confronts her mum, is one of the most quietly gut-wrenching things I've seen in years.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 8/10 by Tim RobeyFunny, real, poetic and frightening, not the gruelling tract about neglect you might expect.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by Adam WoodwardThis is clearly a very personal film; sensibly sustained through a vérité aesthetic that keeps the narrative potent, but not overbearing.
Total Film - 8/10 by Simon KinnearIt's commanding, committed and sometimes too chilly to truly engage, but it's also heartfelt, powerful stuff - especially in Lauren Socha's passionate, painful performance as Lucy's lost-cause roommate.
London Evening Standard - 8/10 by Charlotte O'SullivanAuthentic and hyper-real, a reflection of a young girl's inner life that never strays into hysteria.
ViewLondon - 8/10 by Matthew TurnerA powerfully emotional drama that marks Morton out as a directorial talent to watch.
Time Out - 8/10 by Trevor JohnstonWindsor's taciturn and stoic central performance is both haunting and affecting, framed by Morton's deliberate, even stately direction.
