Critic Reviews

• Dave Calhoun, Time Out

  [A] low-key, high-tension British indie drama...

• Guy Lodge, Variety

  D.R. Hood's intriguing, well-acted debut draws shifting lines of conflict ... before losing steam in the third act.

• Philip French, Observer [UK]

  It's a promising film.

• Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

  For her debut feature, British film-maker Dictynna Hood has created a brooding drama of rural disquiet and sexual tension.

• David Aldridge, Radio Times

  Wreckers blends spells of sheer, watching-paint-dry tedium with sparkier inter-sibling stuff and the odd bout of rural rumpy-pumpy.

• Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph

  In a year already stacked with accomplished British debuts, DR Hood's smart, engrossing and well-acted Wreckers deserves to be more than a footnote.

• Nigel Andrews, Financial Times

  The structure rambles. The plot sometimes bewitches, sometimes bemuses. The cast works valiantly to keep us caring.

• Laurence Boyce, Little White Lies

  A low-key affair but an interesting take on social realism despite its flaws.

• Matthew Turner, ViewLondon

  Impressively directed and superbly written, this is an emotionally engaging, powerfully tense British drama with a trio of terrific performances from all three leads.

• Ian Freer, Empire Magazine

  While the drama occasionally overheats, strong turns from the two leads keep us invested in the characters.
