….Truly outstanding was the sound design, by Roland Heap and editor Jinx Godfrey, which injected a terrifying anxiety to a bombing scene on the London Underground. Lucy Walker described the picture as “a masterpiece, the British Departed.” – The Telegraph

[Shadow Dancer] makes a difference, a poetic and unapologetically arthouse story … terrific score, measured pacing and fierce female performances … a raw reminder of a sad and painful past. – The Guardian

….every aspect of the filmmking from sound design to lonely camera shots of isolation play into the goal of celebrating the constant, horrifying ticking that can only lead to one thing… – FilmSchoolRejects.com
