Stephen Poliakoff 'has been one of our sharpest and least
predictable writers for the past twenty years' (Daily Telegraph)
Breaking the Silence: "How well Poliakoff understands the
indignities and absurdities of dispossession, the brazen pluck and
ruthless cunning you need to survive it; and the bewilderment of
the young who only want to be normal...One of the most thrillingly
individual works of the last decade or two" (Sunday Times); Playing
with Trains: "An epic drama involving a ruinous defence of a libel
suit in the High Court, a running battle with two children in whom
Galpin takes less interest than his proteges, misfired property
schemes, and an attack on the reluctance of big business to support
the idea wallahs...marvellous scenes." (Weekend Guardian); She's
Been Away: "This poignant, funny film...was written by Stephen
Poliakoff for Peggy Ashcroft. Her character is Lillian, thrust into
a frightening and incomprehensible world after sixty years in a
mental institution." (Weekend Guardian); Century: "If all British
films are to be costume dramas then let them all be as intelligent
and imaginative as Stephen Poliakoff's Century. The strength of the
film lies not just in the strong performances or unusual storyline
but in images that conflict with our idea of what the past looks
like...Century deserves to be celebrated for its effortless
integration of contemporary issues - immigration, genetic
engineering - with a convincing historical story." (Independent)
