(1 - 8) of 8 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1   4.5/5 "Meadows' film oozes quality. The scripting feels natural and, thanks to long takes, Meadows is able to get the best performances from his young leads."   Eye for Film   Amber Wilkinson 2.5/4 "At its best a winning anecdote of adolescent male awkwardness adapting to the big city."   Slant Magazine   Bill Weber 3.5/5 "uses every second of his 70-minute runtime rather than adding on perfunctory storylines or resorting to expositional sequences"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin 3/5 "This modest but amicable tale has more depth and more spirit than many films twice its length."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner B "Meadows gives his film so much forward thrust it feels like a road movie as it follows the ramblings of his two young leads."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "As in all of Meadows's films, Somers Town emphasizes the importance of character and particularly of camaraderie amongst male characters--here, teenagers who nick clothes from the local laundry, get drunk in the park, and furtively investigate masculinity"   Reverse Shot   Leo Goldsmith 4.5/5 "An authentic sense of humour and a brightly rendered sense of hopefulness lend this film the qualities of a timeless cinematic classic."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 7/10 "...Meadows' method of working with improvised scenes shot in long takes gives it a sense of emotional truth which is lacking in many more ambitious films."   Playback:stl   Sarah Boslaugh  (1 - 8) of 8 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1
