TOMATOMETER
Ranked #11 in Uncut's Best DVDs Of 2005 -- [W]ith a liberal message hidden behind a surface harsh enough to scrape your eyes.
Uncut
Clarke's characteristic humanism is evident...
Sight and Sound
A ferocious exposé of life in Britain’s notorious borstals, or youth detention centers....It tells it with scalding wit and coolly riveting style, in the visual equivalent of spare, brilliant prose that occasionally bleeds into poetry.
Los Angeles Times
...A young Ray Winstone gives a troubling, terrifying performance....Bloody effective...
Total Film
A grim, realistic portrayal of life inside a borstal.....A true classic.
Uncut
