Critics: “But it is the performance that Swinton gives after Kevin's killing spree that is just so powerful as she tries to battle her own grief and cope with the accusations and abuse that come her way on a daily basis. It is a tour de force performance from Swinton and you really can't see anyone other than her playing this role it really is a perfect piece of casting - she plays this role with such poise and dignity never letting it slip into melodrama.” - FemaleFirst
“Lynne Ramsay's (Morvern Callar) first narrative feature in nine years is uncomfortably tense but worth savouring, particularly because of Tilda Swinton's devastating lead performance.” - Boxoffice Magazine
“Were it not for Swinton's magnetism, it would be unbearable. Instead, you'll want to stay for the wallop.” - Time Out New York
