Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Little White Lies“Exudes the telltale energy of a watershed moment in cinema...” Furiously, hyperactively unreal, but in its appreciation of what matters to us now, of how we have been shaped, guided and reborn by technology, it is more intimately connected to the reality of life as we know it than any of its contemporaries...

The Telegraph“Suddenly, slacker-boy has to man up. Vroom!...” It captures, better than any film since Michel Gondry’s The Science of Sleep, the befuddling, exhilarating speed at which love transports us from grief to rapture to despair to cosmic happiness — all in the blink of an eyelid...

Time Out film“Wild flights of visual and narrative fancy...” There are hints of Woody Allen in its navel-gazing. And there’s a dash of ‘The Matrix’ in its sneaky affection for pyrotechnics. It could have been a noisy, flashy mess, but luckily it’s got heart, which makes it feel fun and unique...

Channel4 Film“The viewer is swept along on a frantic rush of adrenaline throughout...” The critically-acclaimed source text is matched to a director whose creative vision, aesthetic and cultural tastes mirror the original author's so completely you find yourself wondering if they are, in fact, the same person...

Total Film “Instant KO!...” It’s sizzle-reel cinema, a movie for the Generation ADD that attempts to tell a story using only the cool bits. But this is what stops the movie snatching a higher score. Scott Pilgrim is the Scott Pilgrim trailer for two hours...

Variety“Attention-deficit filmmaking...” Blends the styles of videogames, sitcoms and comicbooks for a mostly hollow, high-energy riff on the insecurities of young love...
