Witty and moving, this is a low-budget Brit triumph that marks its director as a talent to watch. Read full review

While Adult Life Skills could often use more focus, it digs deep to achieve a sense of catharsis, and as a woman who's trying to be invisible, but can't isolate herself forever, Whittaker (currently the Doctor on “Doctor Who”) carries the film. Read full review

Whittaker’s performance finds a balance between the tragic and comic scenarios her character experiences. Read full review

While its protagonist is believably eccentric, the people surrounding her look more like transparent plot devices the more of them we meet. Read full review

I found myself just not engaging with the lead characters and storyline as much as I like. In the end, I was just observing people dealing with a problem, while never able to be in the story as it played out. Read full review

Interesting, funny, yet thin where it matters most, Tunnard’s film is nevertheless a good indication of promising work ahead. Read full review

The result is 96 minutes of excessive eccentricity and unfocused gibberish that seems like 96 days at hard labor with no hope for commercial success. Color it gone. Read full review

I was pleasantly surprised by this film... honestly feel it should've been rated a little higher... great performance by Jodie Whittaker.
