The Guardian

Jul 15, 2022

Peake embodies the role in life that Anne Williams would fulfil with the highest possible distinction: Kevin’s mum.

By Jack Seale FULL REVIEW

The Telegraph

Jul 15, 2022

While the drama will damn the police actions, and the subsequent cover-up, Sampson also conveys the awful randomness of tragedy: Anne’s son was at his first ever away game; his friend made it home, but he did not.

By Anita Singh FULL REVIEW

Radio Times

Jul 15, 2022

The first half of the episode skillfully takes us through the events of the 15th, one agonising moment after another.

By Flora Carr FULL REVIEW

The Independent

Jul 15, 2022

Anne is well written, tense, beautifully acted, unrelentingly sad and angry. It does everything a drama ever could. I’m just not sure I can watch.

Jul 15, 2022

Anne is shaping up to be a deeply moving rebuttal of such callousness.
