Jonathan Romney Sight & Sound Dec 19, 2025
The connecting thread throughout Sky Peals is the extraordinary lead performance by Faraz Ayub. Soft-spoken, recalcitrant, at times even childlike, his Adam is all inwardness, as if folding in himself, imploding slowly into a black hole of self. Go to Full Review
Ian Freer Time Out Sep 11, 2024
3/5
Sky Peals lacks compelling conflicts and narrative fireworks, but Hussain’s film is a mood. The director and his cinematographer, Nick Cooke, shooting on 35mm film, effectively find the otherworldly in the ordinary. Go to Full Review
Yasmin Omar Empire Magazine Aug 20, 2024
3/5
Sky Peals builds tension effectively, but stops short of meaningfully engaging with its chosen (and very worthwhile) themes. Still, if it’s a creepy-mood piece you’re after, this fits the bill. Go to Full Review
Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media Feb 12, 2025
This British indie sci-fi is a strange but likable tale of an outsider finding himself increasingly cut off despite very much living in the modern world. Go to Full Review
Eric Langberg Everything's Interesting Sep 29, 2024
The whole thing would fall apart without its central performance, but Faraz Ayub gives the movie its touching emotional core. It’s one of the most tender, nuanced depictions of depression that I think I’ve ever seen. Go to Full Review
