Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) Dec 1, 2015
4/5
This is a small-scale but delicately crafted and moving family drama, lent an extra resonance by the fact that it features the final performance from Richard Johnson, who died in June. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Dec 1, 2015
4/5
A moving and often brutally effective disquisition on the ageing process, on senility and dementia, and how families are regularly wrenched apart by the same. Go to Full Review
Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Nov 29, 2015
3/5

Radiator never resolves and never really aims to; it is a brief yet timeless moment captured on film. Go to Full Review

Draco S Aug 11, 2017 Another excellent film picked from the Film4 schedules by the Guardian as a 'hidden gem'. No sex, no violence, just human frailty portrayed with empathy and affection. Not an uplifting film: there is a narrative arc, but it's all hard going. Old age is not fun. See more
