Opening scenes don’t get much more challenging than Tyrannosaur’s, in which Peter Mullan’s protagonist, gripped by rage at some unseen insult, fatally kicks his dog.

A great deal more than a misery memoir on film, this character study is as gripping as any hardboiled thriller, delivering emotional content that’ll stay with you for a long time.

...rage is the subject of this powerful, painful and very serious film.

...en imponerande komplex debutfilm om samhällets övergivna olycksbarn, där hemligheten ligger i att filmen rör sig runt överlevnad, mer än om världsförklaring.

To forsømte sjæle mødes på den måde i 'Tyrannosaur', der hører til kategorien af hårde og uafrystelige britiske dramaer, der henter deres stof i så brutal en realisme, at vi næsten ryger over i fiktionens verden.

...är ett brutalt – i ordets samtliga bemärkelser - socialrealistiskt drama vars ”existensberättigande” säkerligen kommer att ifrågasättas av den biobesökare som söker konventionell filmmening.

Tyrannosaur' er en odd couple-film, en uhyre fin skildring af modsætninger, der mødes. Men det er også en stærk, ligefrem brutal film.
