Our reviews

Philip French
Philip French: Schepisi always handles actors sympathetically and here he has a perfect cast, most of whom can draw on their own and their parents' experiences
-
Peter Bradshaw
Peter Bradshaw: It is an intricate patterning of friendship which discloses a delicate web of emotional connections, and the principals give nothing less than the handsomely detailed, Rolls-Royce performances you expect
