Kicks Reviews
Little White Lies
Laurence Boyce
It doesn't quite sustain itself all the way through, but Kicks displays an intelligence and verve that are hard to deny.
Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
The initial stages of this film -- just hanging out with Nicole and Jasmine -- are considerably more interesting than the rather strained denouement.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Sukhdev Sandhu
It's a promising feature debut...
Financial Times
Nigel Andrews
The film moves in and out of credibility as if on a dimmer switch, but Hayes and Burley give it the wattage they have.
News of the World
Robbie Collin
The film disappoints because, just like Lee's young kidnappers, once the set-up's out of the way, it has no idea what to do next.
Time Out
Dave Calhoun
What's most alluring, though, on an intimate scale, is how far Heymann tries to tell her story not through talk but through physical observation and music (even if she relies on a lot of Ladytron).
Empire Magazine
Anna Smith
Engaging and witty tale of girlie bonding let down by a clunky third act.
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
It's an intriguing idea, but the film is too timid and awkward to really get going
Film4
Anton Bitel
All at once a sensitive coming-of-age drama, a mildly implausible abduction thriller and a bittersweet love letter to Liverpool, Heymann's film plays like This Is England for the celebrity-obsessed Noughties.
Daily Mirror (UK)
David Edwards
Look for your kicks elsewhere.
Radio Times
David Parkinson
Fatally undermined by the implausibility of the situation and the banal dnouement's disappointing lack of drama.
