Empire
"It may be slow in parts and its heart-sinking scenarios won't fill you with cheer, but it has bags of style and a terrific soundtrack from promising debut director Drew. It might just kickstart a few acting careers, too."
Time Out
"There are plenty of flaws here, but instinctively Ill Manors feels important - like some British films of the 1980s (Meantime, Scum) that spoke of a generation out of work and out of hope."
Total Film
"Wringing tortured turns from a cast of unknowns, Drew has things to say - and he mostly says them well."
