Critic Reviews

• David Jenkins, Time Out

  A film of real substance that shows a timely interest in how and why gangs materialise.

• Matt Glasby, Total Film

  A film that, for all its grit and attitude, lacks sufficient cred.

• Philip French, Observer [UK]

  It's a confused and confusing movie with odd good moments, but has little by way of revealing insight other than the suggestion that the girl gangsters need loving parents and the protection of a nurturing family.

• Charlotte O'Sullivan, This is London

  Thanks to the posturing, intrusive soundtrack and implausible, clichéd script, it's hard to take any of it too seriously.

• Anna Smith, Empire Magazine

  Despite some confusing narrative turns, writer-director Nirpal Bhogal's thriller is an impactful and authentic look at gang culture on London's meaner streets.

• Henry Barnes, Guardian [UK]

  Sigh.

• Ashley Clark, Little White Lies

  A haunting, stylised portrayal of a desolate London lingers in the memory.

• Francesca Steele, Sky Movies

  Gritty urban London films are two a penny these days but with Sket, script and production advice from real former gang members has helped create a film that is new, sincere and actually has something to say.
