Critic Reviews

  • Killian Fox, Observer [UK]

    The film-making is rough and ready - Tempest looks like a student film and often sounds like a promotional video for Ovalhouse - but the cast is sympathetic and it's a pleasure to see them making the play their own.

  • Mike McCahill, Guardian [UK]

    The kids energise it, but it's a choppy jumble of good intentions and half-realised ideas, too wind-tossed in its structure to function even as a useful teaching aid.

  • Rebecca Ellis, Little White Lies

    Largely incoherent in its hyperactive attempt to cut edge.

  • Jennifer Tate, ViewLondon

    An absorbingly raw and insightful docudrama, which brings together 17 young actors to present a 21st century retelling of a heartbreakingly relevant Shakespearean classic ...

  • Kevin Harley, Total Film

    Choppy cuts muddy the narrative, but the faith in grassroots art's motivational value resonates clearly.
