Catherine Shoard, The Guardian, 24th September 2020Movie review - Get Duked! (2019)
In its own slippery game of generational cat and mouse, Doff's film is one that brazenly revels in absurdity; unashamedly committing to increasingly implausible sub-plots involving bread thieves, dim-witted police prejudice and the sharpness of forks.
George Nash, Flickering Myth, 25th August 2020Days of the Bagnold Summer (2020) review

Mark Kermode, The Observer, 7th June 2020Movie review - Days of the Bagnold Summer (2019)
