Wreckers (15)

Drama

A married couple move back to his childhood village to start a family but a surprise visit from the husband's brother ignites sibling rivalry and exposes the lies embedded in the couple's relationship.


The critical consensus

While the drama occasionally overheats, strong turns from the two leads keep us invested in the characters.

***(*)(*)Ian Freer, Empire Online, 13/12/2011

A rich, unsettling character piece.

****(*)Emma Dibdin, Total Film, 02/12/2011

A low-key affair but an interesting take on social realism despite its flaws.

Laurence Boyce, Little White Lies, 14/12/2011

The cast works valiantly to keep us caring.

***(*)(*)Nigel Andrews, Financial Times, 15/12/2011

This intelligently shot and edited film has a lot going for it.

***(*)(*)Tim Robey, The Telegraph, 15/12/2011

This is a very sure-footed and confident piece of work.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 15/12/2011

Good performances just fail to supply the vital jolt of energy.

***(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 16/12/2011

Wreckers stretches credulity but is recommended for being a dysfunctional bromance told from the perspective of Dawn's outsider.
