Jason Bailey Flavorwire Nov 17, 2016
The filmmaking is aesthetically sublime, but that's about all it's got going, and by its climax, you're just waiting for them to check the double-murder boxes. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Oct 10, 2016
2/5
Underneath the street locations and locally cast actors, however, this is as slickly vapid and Hollywood (in the bad sense) as it gets. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Aug 21, 2016
3/5
There is much to recommend this picture, not least the nervy camerawork and a pair of knockout performances from Martha Canga Antonio and Aboubakr Bensaihi as young lovers from opposite sides of a gang war. Go to Full Review
Adam Lowes HeyUGuys Oct 13, 2016
4/5
An uncompromising look at posturing teens emotionally unequipped with the adult world, reminiscent of genre standouts like Kids and City of God, complete with a heavy pinch of social unrest and interracial conflict which calls to mind La Haine. Go to Full Review
David Parkinson Radio Times Aug 21, 2016
4/5
The potency of this depiction, with its powder-keg tensions, starts with an unflinching approach behind the camera. Go to Full Review
MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Aug 19, 2016
2/5
A facile riff on Romeo & Juliet amongst Brussels gangs. Banal, clichéd, and treats its teenage-girl protagonist in a spectacularly disgusting way. Go to Full Review
