All Critics (29) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (27) | Rotten (2)

  • Fanny Lye Deliver'd bristles with the promise brought on by a new era, even if its approach feels busy and overworked.

    Clarisse Loughrey

    Independent (UK)

  • Flawed, but it is a film with a singular vision on screen...I went in deeply suspicious of it, but the moments that work are impressive enough...

    Mark Kermode

    Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

  • It's a film that always looks to plough its own furrow: chewing over biblical text one minute, unleashing lurid splashes of violence the next.

    Philip De Semlyen

    Time Out

  • Peake is terrific throughout, and the dreamlike mood lingers after the credits roll, a story made to chew on, told amid the mists of an England briefly up for grabs.

    Danny Leigh

    Financial Times

  • While Maxine Peake shines in the lead role of a downtrodden woman finding her own voice, all aspects of Thomas Clay's gritty, immersive historical drama blaze with visceral authenticity.

    Nikki Baughan

    Empire Magazine

  • It is a film which follows its own instincts and is happy to retain (and proudly display) a few ragged edges, and it's all the more interesting for it.
