“…once in a while, along comes a film that is so powerful and haunting that it seems to stop the world as you watch, leaving you struggling to enter the reality of unfolding life… such was the force of Scenes from a Teenage Killing.
[Matthews] trained his camera with unjudgemental humanity and warmth. The result was thoroughly chilling.”
