Fanny Lye

"Fanny Lye Deliver’d promises – and delivers – a fascinating folk-tale."

"The dreamlike mood lingers after the credits roll..."

"Not only strong and uncompromising but also exceptionally beautiful."

"An oddity, an artefact and – if you're in the mood – an unexpected treat."

"Follows its own instincts and is happy to retain (and proudly display) a few ragged edges, and it's all the more interesting for it."

"All aspects of Thomas Clay's gritty, immersive historical drama blaze with visceral authenticity."

"It's a film that always looks to plough its own furrow: chewing over biblical text one minute, unleashing lurid splashes of violence the next."

"Clay firmly establishes himself as a powerhouse filmmaker. I can't wait to see what he delivers next."

"Bristles with the promise brought on by a new era, even if its approach feels busy and overworked."

"Clay’s script teasingly alludes to that title. Using the fascinating, subversive “underground” writings of the era, Hill taught us all to think of that time as a hotbed of blazing radicalism."

"She has been a long time coming, but Fanny Lye certainly does deliver."
