	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ellie Walker-Arnott Time Out	"A sparky film, embedded in London’s cheek-by-jowl world of wealth and poverty. It’s also a dark teen drama (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"There is a persistent and disconcerting joylessness (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"'iBoy' misses out on the opportunity for entertaining mischief with a po-faced approach to the material and a lack of internal logic to the story."	NEG
United Kingdom	Tristram Fane Saunders Telegraph	"Helped by the script’s sharpest dialogue, the moments between her and Tom light up the movie (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
