Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A raw movie, but it relies on the natural appeal of its main character and the skill with which Loach creates a thoroughly believable environment.
– Robert Denerstein,
Denver Rocky Mountain News,
20 Jun 2003
fresh:
There's a profane but strangely tender rawness to this sometimes brutal movie, anchored by Compston's remarkably assured debut performance.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
20 Jun 2003
fresh:
From its gripping immediacy to its strong cast of unknowns, Sweet Sixteen feels almost like a documentary. Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty keep an evenhanded focus on harsh truths, and avoid melodrama and grandstanding.
– Bruce Westbrook,
Houston Chronicle,
27 Jun 2003
fresh:
Despite this film's title, don't expect something light and fluffy.
– Jeff Strickler,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
27 Jun 2003
fresh:
Using mostly unknown and first-time actors, Loach spins a passable coming-of-age tale, which should please his fans and provides a diversion for the rest of us.
