Reviews

The A.V. Club -
Taut, tense, and self-consciously stylish.
|
|
The New York Times -
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.”

|
Newsweek -
It has the feel of a classic coming-of-age story. It's the sleeper of the summer.

|
Premiere -
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.

Entertainment Weekly -
Sad, menacing, empathetic story.
