Urchin Ratings & Reviews
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
It may be tonally all over the place as cinema, but in his first film, actor turned director Harris Dickinson cuts a direct path to the heart and certifies star Frank Dillane as a major talent.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
A really auspicious directing debut.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
Ultimately about "Some people simply are who they are." And that's just the end of that.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
"Urchin" also reveals Dickinson's quiet assurance as a filmmaker, his confidence in his lead actor, and in his belief that these stories matter, that characters like Mike matter.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
There are no life lessons here, only an uncommonly focused look at one life.
AV Club
Jacob Oller
Debut director Harris Dickinson finds a perfectly hangdog lead to elevate his standard, realist homelessness drama.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
Dillane is onscreen for the entire film, and he gives a performance that will stick with you long after the symbolism-laced last scene.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
While the surreal elements don't entirely work, "Urchin's" joyful outbursts and a supporting turn from Dickinson do...
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
[Harris Dickinson] is a committed filmmaker and on the basis of this, he's got a very strong career behind the camera as well as in front of it.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Dickinson he gives "Urchin" in uncluttered visual language that allows our eye to take in the entire moment without the sweaty close-ups that usually define tales of the homeless and addicted.
Los Angeles Times
Glenn Whipp
Urchin establishes [Dickinson] as a filmmaker to watch: a storyteller willing to look at a thorny subject and admit that there are no easy answers.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
Urchin doesn't break the mold, but it's a confident, quietly affecting drama that strikes above the standard character study.
Slant Magazine
William Repass
Harris Dickinson imbues the film with a singular style, as well as a self-awareness that's introspective without stooping to outright self-flagellation.
Elle
Tomris Laffly
Harris Dickinson might be the most exciting new auteur since the Safdie Brothers. The future of British social realism looks promising thanks to his debut--knows his Ken Loach and Mike Leigh inside and out but doesn't carbon-copy what came before.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Dickinson has a light touch and a lively imagination, as well as a sense of humor; he takes material you think might be conventional and opens new windows of thinking.
The Daily Beast
Esther Zuckerman
Urchin has shades of the work of the Safdie brothers in its nervy energy, and owes something to British auteur Andrea Arnold... But it's also entirely Dickinson's own vision, which meshes the surreal and the bracingly real.
Variety
Guy Lodge
[Frank Dillane] is revelatory in his most substantial big-screen role to date, imbuing Mike with both the kind of wily charisma that makes people want to rescue him, and a self-destructive volatility that keeps repelling such efforts.
RogerEbert.com
Isaac Feldberg
While staying close to this uneasy and vulnerable character, Dickinson follows him down the drain with ample sympathy but also a cold, invigorating clarity.
TheWrap
Chase Hutchinson
This is a full character that Dillane and Dickinson have built from the ground up, where the little details of how he reacts to things can tear right through when you least expect it.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
With Dillane's invaluable help, Urchin paints a sad and compelling portrait of someone lost in the fringes, a victim of an often indifferent system and of the complex wiring of his brain.
