Baltimore

"Poots (...) is mesmerising. And there is a jarred edge to the film-making, the feeling of the camera being tilted out of everyone’s comfort zone, which (...) results in a sensation of almost constant, biting discomfit." 

"Poots is riveting as a revolutionary, and the drama knows how to pitch the escalation of intensity, but 'Baltimore' and its sense of guilt and conscience is too obscure to affect the average viewer" 

"Most effective as a straightforward thriller, [it] plays a bit like a version of 'Reservoir Dogs' where we actually see the heist (...) [Poots] is magnetic in the role, nervy and vulnerable but with a clear-eyed belief in her own convictions" 

"Understated intensity (...) Poots' performance is fully alive to that intensity (...) 'Baltimore' doesn't presume to ask you to root for her, but it invites you to understand what drives her" 

"Joe Lawlor and Christine Molloy tell a cool, low-key drama (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
