This is a film about the pressures and demands of making another country your own. Too often, however, the viewer will feel as befuddled as the protagonist.September 05, 2018
If [Elba's] first film often looks good and always sounds great, beneath its skin it is short of heart and soul.January 24, 2018
It's a pedestrian effort that could have used a serious hit of Elba's dangerous charisma onscreen.September 04, 2018
You'd never accuse Yardie...of being a particularly original yarn, but its attention to style, music and language...lends it enough verve to stand on its own.December 21, 2018
This messy, disjointed film marks the directorial debut of Idris Elba and it gives me little pleasure to state that he should stick to working in front of the camera instead of behind it.January 26, 2018
"Yardie" has the right look, the right sound and the right moves to play with the bigger boys of its genre; like its young, scrappy but naive hero, however, there's not quite enough power behind its posturing.September 30, 2018
Not much to write home about, which is a pity for a film about emigres.January 22, 2018
Throughout the messy experience of "Yardie," [Idris] Elba's interest in storytelling gets ahead of his lacking visual instincts. Though I'm curious to see what story he tells next, Elba proves to not yet have an original voice behind the camera.September 06, 2018
Obviously Idris Elba is very well-versed in the music and the style and the cultures that this story is dealing with and he evokes them in such a way that you feel that you are really there.September 02, 2018
The performances aren't bad (Ameen's charisma eclipses the expositional dialogue), but the stakes feel low and the characters gangster-movie generic.January 29, 2018
As it stands, Yardie seldom amounts to anything more than a collection of vaguely related scenes, simultaneously both too muddled and too straightforward to have any resonance beyond the moment at hand.September 04, 2018
Would be funny if it wasn't quite so frightening.
