We Got This Covered
iBoy is a fully charged superhero tale that soon overcomes its admittedly ludicrous premise. - 60
Time Out London
iBoy’ is a sparky film, embedded in London’s cheek-by-jowl world of wealth and poverty. It’s also a dark teen drama, peppered with brutal beatings, gang rape, drugs and dead bodies. - 60
The Telegraph
The film’s secret superhero is Maisie Williams as Lucy. - 40
Screen Daily
A superpower movie with a premise absurd even by the far-fetched standards of the genre, iBoy misses out on the opportunity for entertaining mischief with a po-faced approach to the material and a lack of internal logic to the story. - 40
The Guardian
For me the superpower idea can only work with humour and lightness of touch: and there is a persistent and disconcerting joylessness about this.
