Reviews


91
The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
Taut, tense, and self-consciously stylish.
90
The New York Times - Manohla Dargis
A modest, near-flawless gem, This Is England is the fifth feature by the young British director Shane Meadows, doing his best work since he first hit the festival scene in the mid-1990s with his hilarious, raw-hewn shorts “Small Time.”
90
Newsweek - David Ansen
It has the feel of a classic coming-of-age story. It's the sleeper of the summer.
88
Premiere - Unnamed
This Is England may be best summed up as a "coming-of-age" story that puts aside the clichéd baggage often carried by the description and ultimately ends up being moving, genuinely funny, thought-provoking, and highly recommended.
75
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Sad, menacing, empathetic story.
