Critics' reviews

"[Frankie Fenton] knows exactly what 'Atomic Hope' has to say and he has assembled a splendid ensemble to do the talking (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Tara Brady: Irish Times
"While intriguing, this Irish documentary’s boosterism doesn’t really provide a thorough argument for embracing the nuke."

Dennis Harvey: Variety
"It’s not the first doc to herald the eco-nuclear movement but, even so, this is still a convincing argument in favour of the long-tabooed energy source (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"An intriguing documentary that gives voice to the pro-nuclear argument without coherently countering it (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Paul Whitington: Irish Independent
"Regardless of whether one is sceptical, in favour of or against the use of nuclear power, the documentary certainly delivers some interesting reflections about our future and the current climate crisis"

Davide Abbatescianni: Cineuropa
