"With its imposing tower blocks, unflinching close ups and emotionally naked performances Nadine makes for challenging viewing but Simpson imbues the intensity with an artistic sensibility. The writing is honest and there is beauty in the Tower block where it's set, rising out like a sleeping giant as a green area nestles near by. It's a harsh world that Simpson portrays - or, as Nadine says: It's a horrible world - but he achieves such an intimacy with the characters and there's plenty of poetry to be found amongest the heartache. Strong performances are coaxed from the young cast but none as powerful as Lisa Jane Gregory's."
