Ziba is a genuine intellectual heroine, and Hekmat conveys a sense of how her introversion and seriousness might set her apart in a hedonistic high-school culture. Read full review

The Times Kevin Maher

The London kids are all right, and then some, in this sun-kissed love letter to teenage angst, human frailty and the uncommon beauty of the capital city. Read full review

Last Swim is a compelling, textured and authentic London coming-of-age story anchored by an exciting new generation of acting talent. Read full review
