Critic Reviews for The Delinquent Season

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (4)

O'Rowe... evokes both a theatrical and literary sense of narrative, with scenes effectively unfolding like well-honed chapters.

Gary Goldstein
Los Angeles Times
Mark O'Rowe will undoubtedly direct a brilliant piece of cinema someday. The Delinquent Season is not it.

Tara Brady
Irish Times
Volatile and a tad short in the love-and-understanding department, Scott becomes one of the wronged parties in the movie's equation...

Sura Wood
Bay Area Reporter
[Cillian] Murphy is fascinating as a well-meaning man who is regularly a jerk, and the film slowly excavates his psychology; Murphy is especially still in this, as other people orbit around him and push his life in various directions.

Alex Heeney
Seventh Row
This Irish drama has little new to add to the illicit love affair genre, but is still sympathetically scripted and emotionally acted

November 3, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Roger Moore
Movie Nation
[Delinquent Season] acutely highlights the fragile nature of modern relationships through extremely human and engaging characters.

Irene Falvey
Film Ireland Magazine
The whole darn thing is overwritten. Everyone is on autopilot. Everyone can do better. Nobody - especially a sleepy [Cillian] Murphy - is aware of just how bad a film they're dealing with.

Chris Wasser
The Herald (Ireland)
Intense, earthy, [and] bristling with authorial intelligence...

Paul Whitington
Irish Independent
Ultimately, however, this dinner party, despite many fine ingredients, leaves you still feeling peckish.

Katy Hayes
Sunday Times (UK)
There is occasionally a staginess to the screenplay but the characters are real and familiar, the performances are full on, and it is engaging right the way through.

Aine O'Connor
Sunday Independent (Ireland)
The Delinquent Season will undoubtedly inspire some interesting conversations about fidelity, masculinity, obsession and the mundane work of relationships. But next time, O'Rawe needs to fully explore what it is that makes cinema a different medium.

If this film reminds us of anything, it's not to let go lightly.
