Hogg's lighter touch discourages easy judgment. Despite this she has a knack for the kind of vignette that speaks volumes about a relationship. Oct 2, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The absolute specificity of this story makes it universal too. It's the best British film for a long time. Aug 30, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Swinton Byrne and Burke make for one of the year's most intriguing screen couples, although this is a romance based on anxiety, narcissism and opportunism rather than anything resembling genuine affection. Jun 6, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

This is not a movie that lets life simply play out as it is or was - it is instead a collection of memories, some sharp as shards but others smoothed down. Jun 5, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

The nuance-rich, slow-burn direction by Joanna Hogg really works for about the first hour before a dramatic inertia sets in and turns the enterprise into yet another mumblecore dirge about drug addicts. Oct 9, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

This doesn't really pioneer any new ground. You're watching because the performances are so good and because [director Joanna] Hogg has a really interesting visual style. Sep 30, 2019 | Full Review…

Hogg portrays both love and addiction within spans of wordless fumes. She knows exactly how both have no fix and how their necessity or the lack of can make and break a person. Sep 24, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Swinton Byrne's performance is itself compelling, but she's also deprived of material with which to build anything real. Sep 20, 2019 | Full Review…

Hogg's signature precise framing has never been a more effective cinematic tool, with Julie drifting further toward centre frame as her story progresses. The Souvenir is a meticulous piece of work worthy of the discussion and dissection. Sep 19, 2019 | Full Review…
