	Media	Author	Review
		Charles Gant Screendaily	"The danger here is that Amoo’s promiscuous approach to form and content positions 'A Moving Image' as intriguing food for thought, rather than a truly satisfying investigation or dramatisation of his subject."
		Ashley Clark The Guardian	"It features an unforgettable cast railing against gentrification."
		Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"The end product is more noble failure than compelling yarn (...) 'A Moving Image' falls short of its title promise."
		Cath Clarke Time Out	"'A Moving Image' gets beyond the clichés to ask big questions (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kevin Maher The Times	"This impassioned docudrama makes the unfortunate mistake of confusing artistic ambition with intellectual incoherence (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		David Parkinson Radio Times	"'A Moving Image' is bold and thematically well-intentioned, but its budgetary restrictions and some feeble support playing rather undermine Amoo's laudable ambition (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
