	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A likable movie with a big heart (...) There is a great chemistry between Coel and Kene (...) It balances the tough realities of life in the city with the buoyant possibilities of romance (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"As a showcase for [Coel] and the silky charms of leading man Arinzé Kene, this Netflix-distributed diversion works quite cheerfully; as a screen musical, it’s less satisfying"	NEU
United Kingdom	Nikki Baughan Screendaily	"Working from Walker’s astute screenplay, Coel is excellent (...) Ronke Adekoluejo is a particular standout (...) [It] makes some poignant observations"	POS
United States	Oliver Lyttelton The Playlist	"There’s a terrific sense of place here (...) It’s a film that really pops with expressionistic color – DP Catherine Derry is definitely someone to keep an eye on"	POS
United Kingdom	Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard	"Cool actors playing cool characters in a Camden that Londoners will actually recognise (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
