Harriet Fitch Little

RTFinancial TimesMay 25, 2018

Obliges viewers to fill in the gaps rather than passively absorb images of horror that they are already numb to.

James Jackson

RTThe Times (UK)May 24, 2018

This film's greatest achievement was in showcasing dignity.

Chris Harvey

RTDaily Telegraph (UK)May 23, 2018

Manchester: the Night of the Bomb was riveting and emotional. Events like these need careful, unflinching documentarians, and Roberts is one.

That we should learn the bomber's story, one of misogyny and radicalisation, is grimly inevitable. But it's the girls who are the story, and they refuse to be victims.
