	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"A beautiful, moving, horrifying adaptation of her unsimple tale, that honours the source and its subject (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Eleanor Bley Griffiths Radio Times	"[It] is so finely-tuned and carefully-balanced that it’ll break your heart – and make you laugh at the same time."	POS
United States	Rebecca Lea Den of Geek	"It’s a strong start to 'The Long Song' and as a period drama that enjoys playing with convention and defying expectations"	POS
Ireland	Peter Crawley Irish Times	"The most cheering thing about it, is it is a mainstream British entertainment with enough room for serious performance by Lenny Henry. Within it, though, are some riveting tangles"	POS
