To Kill a Mockingbird is a major film achievement, a significant, captivating and memorable picture that ranks with the best of recent years.

The Telegraph - Marc Lee
As Mulligan so deftly demonstrates, the story is in the characters, their failings and fragility, their heroism and nobility of spirit. It's in the depiction of heart-breaking cruelty and heart-warming humanity. It's in the innocence of a child's world overshadowed by the evil that adults do.

One of the year's most fetching and affecting pictures.
