Pin Cushion's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
"Haywood brilliantly subverts her audience?s expectations at every step of the way. She introduces characters as tropes and steers them into the opposite direction."
Time Out
"It's not always an easy watch but it's a sensitive, assured film with characters you'll warm to and root for."
Empire
"Uneven in places, 'Pin Cushion' nonetheless offers a moving meditation on what it feels like to be different, elevated by great work from Joanna Scanlan and newcomer Lily Newmark".
Variety
"'Pin Cushion' is most emotionally piercing in depicting the daily ways in which the world still punishes this loving, mild-as-milk woman for her difference."
The Guardian
"Deborah Haywood?s feature debut heralds a tough, distinctive new voice in British film".
