One Mile Away (15)

Documentary


The critical consensus

Heartfelt if sometimes naive.

***(*)(*)Tom Dawson, The List, 14/03/2013

Woolcock could hardly be more sincere in her endeavours, though she stretches her interviews close to breaking point: how often can you decry the cycle of violence, the hostility of the police, the bleak prospects of Birmingham's dispossessed?

**(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 28/03/2013

Seek out the director’s vibrant “grime musical” 1 Day (2009) instead, which features some of the same gang members in a fictional, but far more revealing, story.

**(*)(*)(*)Robbie Collin, The Telegraph, 28/03/2013

The doc's short on context, and too forgiving of its poster boys, but as a study of their commitment to bettering themselves and the community, it's inspiring.

****(*)Henry Barnes, The Guardian, 28/03/2013

Engaging, thoughtful, funny, fearless.

****(*)Basia Lewandowski Cummings, Little White Lies, 28/03/2013

The picture covers familiar ground and tends to ramble somewhat repetitively.
