Critics' reviews
- "An assured, graceful instance of effective screen storytelling, and Meadows draws splendid performances from his cast, especially from the young Shim and Marshall."
- "Offers an honest, understated and unsentimental look at a small incident in the course of a friendship - but it is the kind of incident that defines most childhoods."
- "A kitchen-sink realist coming-of-age story in the venerable British tradition, with all the good and bad that entails."
- "So low-key it could be mistaken for a throwaway. But Meadows's understanding of childhood fears and fantasies and the yearning, heartfelt performances he draws from his two young actors should not be underestimated."
- "Fairly shapeless story."
