“..While it never quite manages to shake off the E4 vibe, it's good to see Grint stretching his wings..”
by David Edwards [Daily Mirror]
“..this reasonably polished slice of Skins-style youthsploitation makes such a fake and undangerous lurch into pills-and-vandalism melodrama..”
by Tim Robey [Daily Telegraph]
“..this modest drama about drinking, drugging, shagging, shoplifting, joyriding Belfast teens..”
by Matt Mueller [Total Film]
“..this is never less than watchable but the plot is ultimately underwhelming and fails to deliver the required emotional punch..”
by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]
“..The story unfolds like a plastic picnic table, with a string of not-very-exciting events standing in for a plot..”
by Robbie Collin [News of the World]
“..Strong turns from Grint and Sheehan, and a punchy storyline elevate this from TV drama to something powerfully cinematic..”
by Liz Beardsworth [Empire Magazine]
“..A valiant effort, but a little too yoof by numbers to be taken seriously..”
by Stuart Heritage [The Guardian]
“..A trio of captivating performances from the young leads and a mesmerising soundtrack cannot drag Cherrybomb out of the creative mire..”
by Ben Rawson-Jones [Digital Spy]
