The critical consensus

Myhill’s debut has admirable artistic ambition and a pungent sense of place and longing.

***(*)(*)Nev Pierce, Empire Online, 25/05/2015

Guy Myhill's Norfolk-set debut is a coming-of-ager with quiet power.

****(*)Nikki Baughan, The List, 25/05/2015

An intelligent microcosm piece with some real talent behind it, The Goob provides an immersive exploration of friendship and rebellion in a setting that is both oppressive and liberating in equal measure.

****(*)Nicola MacDonald, TVBomb, 22/05/2015

An intelligent essay in classic Brit social realism that is well acted with a beautiful evocation of the East Anglian landscape.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 28/05/2015

Rites of passage yarn is an engaging mix of abrasiveness and lyricism.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 29/05/2015

A film where the pungent atmosphere and bright young performers are at the mercy of a slight, underwhelming story.

**(*)(*)(*)Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 29/05/2015

Sean Harris brings evil-eyed intensity to a Norfolk pumpkin farm in this atmospheric slice of working-class drama.
