      Simran Hans Observer (UK) [A] sweet and, at times, rather sad slice-of-life drama, set during a stagnant summer in a working-class mining village in South Yorkshire. Rated: 4/5 Apr 28, 2019 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) The depictions of sunburnt teenagers ambling through estates, obsessing over crushes and minor betrayals, yet haunted by the terrible truths of the adult world, seemed utterly true. Rated: 4/5 Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian A bit of an uneventful slog. Rated: 3/5 Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Danny Brogan Common Sense Media Adapted from a stage play, this British coming-of-age drama follows in the footsteps of the likes of Ken Loach and Mike Leigh in its depiction of "ordinary" people going about "ordinary" lives. Rated: 3/5 Jan 5, 2022 Full Review Amelia Harvey Frame Rated Pond Life is close to being a cute, nostalgic British film but it feels too low key to be charming and touching. Rated: 3/5 Aug 21, 2019 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia A sweet, heartfelt and humorous look at life on the fringes Aug 21, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
