Reviews

‘The non-professional cast, drawn from the community in which these interlocking, quasi-mythic tales of manhood in the making are set, is rooted, real and persuasive.’
★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer

‘The rangy, inquisitive screenplay… doesn’t artificially intertwine this pair’s life stories. Instead, it simply allows them to play out in tandem, inviting us to spot the reflections and echoes.’
★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
