Critic Reviews

Somers Town, is a trifle: A short black-and-white lark with sharp edges and a soft center. It has its raptures, though, and then some. A disarmingly slight tale of adolescent friendship, Somers Town is one of those rare movies that seems to discover itself as you watch it.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

The result is a movie that feels enjoyably aimless--one that invites viewers to just hang out for an hour.Full Review

Noel Murray
The Onion A.V. Club

Meadows and cinematographer Natasha Braier present their story with a gritty, unfussy lyricism that finds unexpected glimpses of beauty in overlooked corners of London.Full Review

Neil Young
The Hollywood Reporter

A small but important film about small but important lives, the latest drama from Shane Meadows further confirms that more people should know about this gifted director.Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman
New York Daily News

A funny and endearing character comedy whose extra-brief, 70-minute running time proves perfectly adequate for its slender, episodic story.Full Review
