BFI: “Imran Perretta’s remarkably beautiful film captures the brutal challenges of adolescence”

Little White Lies: “A vital coming of age tale”

The Guardian: 4/5 Stars “Artist, musician and film-maker Imran Perretta makes a really impressive feature-directing debut here, co-written by him and Enda Walsh, and shot in lustrous monochrome by cinematographer Jermaine Canute Edwards. It’s a poignant and poetic urban pastoral about young masculinity, Muslim and south Asian communities, and the seedy and insidious new petty harassment of racial profiling and facial recognition tech” and “The British Debut Movie of the Year”.

Mark Kermode: “One of my favourite films of the year”

Screen Daily: Black and white UK debut proves lyrical study of adolescent male friendship”
