The critical consensus

The sense of damaged souls passing on their pain is hinted at, but the lack of depth renders the results deadening.

**(*)(*)(*)Kevin Harley, Total Film, 15/09/2013

A very well shot and well acted drama.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 19/09/2013

Adapted from a novel by Niall Griffiths, this story of a destructive amour fou is undermined by a double casting flaw.

**(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 19/09/2013

At times the anguish slips into overstatement, with the petite mort of auto-asphyxiation becoming more practical than metaphorical. But it's passionately played throughout, and clearly wrenched from the gut.

***(*)(*)Mark Kermode, The Observer, 22/09/2013

Using his Liverpool locations well, Evans has a feel for mood, but it’d be wrong to mistake atmosphere for psychological depth; Kelly + Victor could’ve been so much more than what it ultimately achieves.
