More Critic Reviews for Southcliffe Miniseries All Critics (11) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (1) The performances are consistently vivid, the violence, focus and style intense and elevated by a perfect balance of near-journalistic remove, impressionism and fully-earned emotional heft. Trust us, it's worth your time. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review… Erik McClanahan indieWire Top Critic They gave an amazing cast the means to connect viscerally with audiences and allow the raw emotion of the story to do the work, all the way to its bleakly resigned close. Apr 12, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… Gerard O'Donovan Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Southcliffe was an exercise in poise and pacing, skipping backwards and forwards in time, ramping up tension as we moved inexorably towards the dire outcome. Apr 12, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Southcliffe's only redeeming story element came in its closing scenes, when that doomed hand-over appeared to have been averted. Scant consolation, strong drama. Apr 12, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Tom Birchenough The Arts Desk While Southcliffe's execution...is easy to admire, its value is less clear. Perhaps witnessing suffering at those levels is medicinal and cathartic, a cleansing grief enema. Perhaps not. Either way, it's not an experience I'm in any rush to repeat. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review… Louisa Mellor Den of Geek Grisoni and Durkin are incredibly reliable pair of hands. Durkin brings his own brand of slow, uneasy brooding tension and unease while Grisoni's talent as a screenwriter precedes him. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review… Will Chadwick We Got This Covered It might not be the cheeriest TV, but as far as bleakness goes, this is rare and brilliant Sunday-night viewing. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review… Arifa Akbar Independent (UK) Top Critic The consistently excellent and emotionally forceful performances aside, perhaps Durkin's greatest achievement here is a magnificently doomy sense of place. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review… Justin Chang Variety Top Critic Southcliffe is plainly reaching for the nuanced, novelistic, noir-ish heights of multicharacter dramas like The Killing or The Wire. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review… Stephen Dalton Hollywood Reporter Top Critic A spellbinding and terrifying piece of television storytelling, Southcliffe ramps things up a notch...maintaining an incredible suspense across its four-hour duration.
