Radiator (15)

Drama

A darkly comic examination of family life, marriage, age and love.


The critical consensus

Radiator may sound maudlin, even depressing but it is so true to life and true to itself that it ultimately emerges as life-affirming and very touching.

****(*)Allan Hunter, The List, 23/11/2015

This intelligent, deeply personal work explores the often overlooked domestic lives of older people, to outstanding effect.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 26/11/2015

A delicately-crafted and moving family drama.

****(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 27/11/2015

One of the best British films of the year.

*****Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 27/11/2015

What follows is often tough to watch, but it’s an honest look at ageing, our fear of it, and how easy it is to let bad memories blind us to the good stuff that that’s still there.

***(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 29/11/2015

A masterful final performance from Richard Johnson crowns this authentic, bleak and unexpectedly funny film.
