“The film was shot for an incredibly tight £25,000 – yet it looks like one with a budget ten, if not a hundred, times larger.” ”
Chortle
“This melancholy, bleakly funny black comedy, about a bickering family plunged into notoriety by an act of kindness, has a dexterity and formal sophistication that belie its microbudget and its status as a début film.”
Sight & Sound
“A deeply haunting, eccentric marvel.”
