Terry Staunton · Radio Times 80.00/100.00
It’s high drama throughout and not always comfortable viewing, but Mielants and Porter use their canvas to shine a light on broader issues of social and educational systemic failure without once stumbling into preachiness.
ProfAmateur 4.00/10.00
All in all really not that good .
Tim Robey · The Telegraph 80.00/100.00
As a feat of adaptation by Max Porter, from his 2023 novella Shy, it’s quite fascinating.
