“Malik and Chaddha are very good; likewise Morfydd Clark as Ophelia and Timothy Spall as Polonius. But this is Ahmed’s film, his Hamlet a dervish of fury and sorrow, whirring on the brink.”-Financial Times UK

“Playing the title character as a fragile man dangerously unravelling, Ahmed brings considerable passion to indelible lines — but the real force comes from the emotional authenticity he lends one of drama’s most formidable and familiar roles”-Screen International
