VS. (2018)
We live through that story more events that we did not get used to as it offers a wide range of different drama and music. It is the film that offers a look that is closer to reality as it looks like an urban ritual from the drama that was filmed in the scene of a hostile and exciting British rap battle. Perhaps, contrary to what is happening, it is about strong challenges and great musical battles.

The soundtrack is better than the movie.October 18, 2018
In the latter stages, the film becomes increasingly sentimental, and even risks turning into a full blown tearjerker, but it never feels trite or manipulative.February 05, 2019
A vibrant and febrile glimpse into a world where words are the weapon of choice.October 17, 2018
VS gains strength by not trotting out easy Hollywood solutions to complex problems. Nor does it lay on the seaside location too thick.October 21, 2018
Vs. may set its stall as the British 8 Mile, with its hard-done-by protagonist transmuting his rage into lyrics, but it goes its own way and is refreshingly progressive when it comes to gender and sexuality.October 18, 2018
It's about a young white rapper who has issues with his mother, and naturally it may owe something to Curtis Hanson's 8 Mile from 2003, starring Eminem, but I enjoyed this more.October 21, 2018
Lilly deftly handles a cliched story - there are parallels with everything from Eminem in 8 Mile to boxing drama Creed - giving it a distinctive, persuasive edginess.October 22, 2018
It's energetic and eager to please, and it certainly doesn't insult its viewers' literacy: the rap battles are cleverly written.October 19, 2018
It's pungently acted by a cast of unknowns, and the wars of words are thrilling and often eye-wateringly offensive.October 15, 2018
Embraces the specificity of an English working-class seaside milieu, stacks the drama with ebullient UK rap and grime talent, and puts Swindells's vital performance stage centre to produce a compelling drama that transcends its generic roots...October 31, 2018
Too many moments come off as clichéd or contrived.October 18, 2018
Lily has been extremely respectful with the subject culminating in an exceptionally delicate and nuanced drama delivered with fierce lyrical force.
