	Author	Review
United States	Charles Gant Variety	"Norris' film does find a beating hear (...) in the tender father-daughter relationship between Archie and Skunk, nicely underplayed by Roth and Laurence"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"The film is rich in poignant moments and negotiates its frequent shifts from violence to gentleness to sorrow with sensitivity"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Too often looks strained, desperately self-conscious and replete with unconvincing and unearned emotional crises (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"Norris works hard to inject some joy and wonder into what could easily be a much more dark and miserable experience 8...) rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	David Gritten Telegraph	"It feels relentlessly miserable and shocking - as if all the most lurid events in two decades of Brookside had been squeezed into 90 minutes (...) Rating: ★★ (out fo five)"	NEG
