Reviews

‘A celebration of British diversity, of dancers and creatives with heritage from across the globe, brought together in a bold artistic front. Creature announces a new frontier for cinema.’

Lillian Crawford, Little White Lies

‘This is an intriguing one-off, reaching out beyond dance connoisseurs to anyone who wants to see something genuinely strange which can’t be pinned down to a single explanation.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
