Comes A Bright Day Reviews

A charming and thrilling coming-of-age story packed with impressive performances and a charismatic dialogue.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Aboud summons an impressive array of talent for his debut feature, pitched as an odd mix of indie-Brit parlour farce and Dog Day Afternoon.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Ultimately, Comes a Bright Day offers insufficient excitement and - like its incompetent robbers - once it battens down those hatches the film has nowhere to go.

[An] ambitious but flawed heist-cum-love story.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Roberts turns in an interesting performance, but the film is treacly and contrived.

Props to director Simon Aboud for trying something a little different, even if things didn't quite come together.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Aboud has a strong visual sense - the framing is precise, the colours rich - but with a threadbare, episodic plot, thin characters and uninspired dialogue, this soon outstays its welcome.
