Guilt hangs over "Lilting," a suffocating haze so thick that it permeates every unspoken, non-understood word between characters trying to traverse a frustrating gulf of language and grief. October 16, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Despite a strong start, the filmmaker doesn't exactly know where to go with it. Still, there are moments before things get away from him that are captivating to watch and lovely to listen to, lilting. October 2, 2014 | Full Review…

Probably the quietest and least histrionic film I've seen for a long time (no mean feat when the subtext to the story is raw grief). November 12, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Lilting is not only a beautiful depiction of grief, love and hardship, but also a fantastic piece of representation for the LGBTQ+ community, as Richard and his partner's relationship is presented to us with nothing other than normalcy and tenderness. August 24, 2018 | Full Review…
