	Author	Review
United States	Charles Gant Variety	"Ahmed is an effective anchor (...) [It] achieves a soulful, poetic depth hitherto absent from the British urban genre."	POS
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"This is an impressively mature and technically assured work. For film fans unfamiliar with Drew’s musical career, just imagine if Eminem had written and directed 'The Wire'."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Really, 'Ill Manors' looks like many other British urban crime films; it could have been made at almost any time, and there's not much substance under the urban style (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Anna Smith Empire	"As gritty, urban British crime dramas go, this is a good fun (...) It has bags of style and a terrific soundtrack from promising debut director Drew (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"'Ill Manors' isn’t perfect, but it gets under the skin – despairing, brutally eloquent and frighteningly real (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
