Herself

"Herself wants audiences to leave feeling both uplifted and feeling OK to ask for help. If the temperature of my heart was anything to go by, I’d say it succeeded."

"Herself has a largeness of spirit that finds room for its passionate, funny and fiercely desperate heroine and everyone who rallies around her."

"A moving, authentic tribute to rebuilding from the ashes..."

"When not sentimental and dull, Herself is jaw-dropping and terrifying..."

"Dunne is a remarkably vulnerable actress... and her pain becomes ours."

"With her elegant, restrained and quietly devastating performance... Clare Dunne is a revelation."

"Lloyd could be the sixth woman to break the Oscars’ glass ceiling - that is, assuming the right distributor recognises the niche this film fills, and how brilliantly Lloyd does it."

"While Dunne and Campbell’s script is occasionally given over to cliches, Herself often manages to subvert them at the last minute..."

"It doesn’t help that Dunne has written for herself such a saintly, oddly dull character. A few more flaws might have made this more interesting..."

"A nuanced portrait of a woman rediscovering herself after years of living in fear."

"Perfectly beautiful and very moving..."
