Reviews

The Telegraph -
So hauntingly perfect is Barnard’s film, and so skin-pricklingly alive does it make you feel to watch it, that at first you can hardly believe the sum of what you have seen.

Variety -
The film’s turn toward the tragic is hardly untelegraphed, but its emotional blows still land with crushing precision.
|
|
Total Film -
Carried aloft by the remarkable performances of her two young leads, Clio Barnard’s poignant, unflinching slice of hard-knock-life grips tight and lingers long. Britain’s definitely got talent.

The Playlist -
The Selfish Giant preaches compassion by showing us in its very closing moments, the fathomless goodness that can lie beneath even the spittingest, snarlingest exterior.

The Guardian -
This is a fine film, which cements Barnard's growing reputation as one of Britain's best film-makers.
