Rating: 3.5/4 -- Combining gritty realism with poignancy, the result is a film that is exceptionally moving. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- The film by writer-director Francis Lee, who grew up on a Yorkshire farm before turning to acting - and, later, filmmaking - is sweet, even if Johnny is not. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- The realism of writer-director Francis Lee's love-struck first feature is as raw as the rural business of birth and death. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Lee also avoids gross sentiment, aiming instead for a message extolling the possibility of hope for a fulfilling, gay relationship set in the kinds of rural climes where ignorance, repression, and eventual tragedy usually reign supreme. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Francis Lee's debut is a lean micro-narrative that largely succeeds in its small scale, though the lead characters are frustratingly undeveloped. Full Review

As a study in finding one's way, Lee and his cast deliver a film that manages to be both rough around the edges and authentically tender. Full Review

Rating: 4.5/5 -- Director/writer Francis Lee's electrifying feature debut is a working-class, fun-house mirror version of "Call Me By Your Name's" upper-class pretensions and is equally, if not more, rewarding because of it. Full Review
