Critics
Rosy McEwen absolutely shines in what should be a star-making turn as a lesbian PE teacher struggling to keep her queerness secret as Section 28 starts to ramp up.
Alternative Lens
It’s a remarkably accomplished picture on every level, not least the keenly felt and fiercely authentic performances.
