REVIEW

“Claire Oakley's genre-bending debut feature slowly reveals itself as a lesbian romance that's as much about learning to love yourself as your lover, and it's a gorgeous and inventive piece of cinema.” Rebecca Harrison, Sight and Sound

“Framing a coming-of-age narrative within the claustrophobic confines of its windswept coastal locale, and playing with both genre convention and audience expectation, Make Up is a visceral piece of regional filmmaking.” Nikki Baughan, Screen International

“It's a thriller but not quite a thriller, and a horror flick but not quite a horror flick, and a psychosexual fantasy but not wholly a psychosexual fantasy... It may be we can settle only on one thing, and the one thing is this: it is very, very good.” Deborah Ross, The Spectator
