United States	Rafaela Sales Ross The Playlist	"'Nil By Mouth' remains as striking a film —perhaps even more so— as it was a quarter century ago"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Burke has rightly become a national treasure, loved and respected, although I have to say I am still waiting for someone to give her another major movie role worthy of her talent (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
