Since it’s a sweet, funny and relatively quiet film, the lack of Big Thoughts is easily overlooked. [Director] Meadows has given himself a much-needed break, and it’s a very satisfying one at that.

An authentic sense of humour and a brightly rendered sense of hopefulness lend this film the qualities of a timeless cinematic classic.

A pleasingly gauzy bit of nostalgia that feels softer and less cynical than anything I've previously seen in a [Shane] Meadows film.

At its best a winning anecdote of adolescent male awkwardness adapting to the big city.

Meadows' film oozes quality. The scripting feels natural and, thanks to long takes, Meadows is able to get the best performances from his young leads.
