Jellyfish - moving, provocative, often hilarious - is quite a debut. Gardner and Hill. Remember those names.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 17, 2019

Though Hill's performance enlivens an overwritten script, her jokes never quite land, undermining the film's basic premise.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 17, 2019

Jellyfish is a familiar but compassionately drawn portrait of hardscrabble lives, centred by a terrific performance by Liv Hill.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2019

There is real cinematic promise...and I look forward to seeing more from everyone involved.

| Feb 16, 2019

Yet Hill's performance of wounded silence and pressure-cooker rage is so galvanising that all objections fade and she carries the film alone, right through to its admirably downbeat conclusion.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 15, 2019

Some nice performances, but falls to pieces under light scrutiny.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 14, 2019

A calling card for everyone involved, especially Hill, who always shows the flickers of Sarah's inner life, even as her character feigns blank, not bovvered.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2019

It never condescends. It never condemns. It keeps its gaze on the characters, their colours, and their refusal to take on, chameleon-like, the drab hues of their environment.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 13, 2019

If British teenager Sarah Taylor's (Liv Hill) life was a movie, its relentless ghastliness might make even a seasoned miserabilist like Ken Loach say, "C'mon, now."

It sounds like pretty miserable viewing, and it's often tough to watch. But Hill is a surefire dynamo, wresting control of the screen; her work is fierce, bitter, funny, and heartbreaking.
