Deborah Ross The Spectator Aug 30, 2018
Although there are a few nice-ish cameos - Ioan Gruffudd pops up, as do James Fox and Jodie Whittaker - it's not enough to save this film from itself or give it any kind of emotional authenticity. Go to Full Review
Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Sep 22, 2010
3/5
Director Nick Moran obviously feels strongly about the material but fails to create a consistent tone. Go to Full Review
Marc Lee Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 16, 2010
3/5
Nick Moran -- like Casey Affleck, an actor-turned-director -- marshals his relentlessly grim material unflinchingly, and Rupert Friend, as the adult Kevin, is engaging and convincing in a complex role. Go to Full Review
Christopher Tookey Daily Mail (UK) Jan 4, 2018
2/5
It's so unsubtle in its characterisation and so plodding in its narrative that it's unlikely to reach much of an audience. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
In this case, truth isn't stranger than fiction, it's just strangely hackneyed. Go to Full Review
Allan Hunter Daily Express (UK) Sep 20, 2010
2/5
A de-glamourised Natascha McElhone is so unconvincing as the harridan of a mother that her performance is hard to take seriously. Go to Full Review

Oct 15, 2018 Absolutely loved this film only wish it was a longer film
Oct 4, 2018 One of the best movies ive ever seen.. Hands down.. If u dont get it or think its missing something then u simply want to be entertained and dont need to watch a autobiograpgy and u sat down to the wrong movie. Its real as shit and I can relate to it SO HEAVY! It does something to me everytime I watch it.. Such a beautiful movie.. Well ?ell ?ell DONE! Been trying to find a copy of it somewhere or a download option or been hoping it will pop up on Netflix or somewhere one of these days so I can watch it with my family because my childhood was EXACTLY like this as well as I went through the same sitiations growing up to an adult. So Powerful! See more
