“After 40 years together the bickering pair were taking a kosher cruise around the Mediterranean in the company of film-maker Paddy Wivell who they treated as a sort of junior relative…Maybe it seemed like an unhappy partnership but the beauty of Paddy’s film was that by turns, as the boat moved round the coast, we realised how comfortable each of these people was with their chosen role in life.” The Express.

“Here is a couple you could go on a cruise with.” The Guardian

“Wivell’s very funny and often touching film was wise enough to accommodate the fact that a good marriage may not be a perfect one.” The Independent

“As Paddy Wivell, more a surrogate son than a film-maker, fought the urge to intervene when Gaby kicked up a ruckus at a creative towel-folding demonstration (‘I like to make awkward situations – that’s what I love,’ he chortled) this was a cruise with more than its fair share of choppy waters…Gaby and Tikwah drove each other crazy but they wouldn’t have been happy any other way. It was impossible to imagine them with anyone else: in its own way, that’s love.” Metro

“Touchingly intimate” The Daily Telegraph

“We were introduced to Tikwah and Gaby in an equally brilliant Wonderland documentary about Hassidic weddings. In this terrific follow-up film-maker Paddy Wivell accompanies the couple on a 12 day Kosher cruise…It’s a candid, humorous and ultimately tender portrait of marriage.” Hello Magazine

“Compelling and delightful viewing” Daily Express preview

“The charm of a good documentary is that it lets you into another world. Paddy Wivell’s Wonderland film, A Hasidic Guide to Love, Marriage and Finding a Bride, shown last year, featured a brief appearance from the wonderfully eccentric Gaby and his wife, Tikwah. they looked like a story waiting to be told – and luckily for us, Paddy Wivell thought so too…It’s an intimate and intensely touching portrait of a marriage.” Evening Standard

“Paddy Wivell’s surprisingly sad, humane and thought-provoking documentary explores the pitfalls and unexpected travails of sharing your living space with an elderly relative” The Sunday Telegraph

“Wivell’s direction deftly blends poignancy and comedy, capturing Peggy’s infuriating and endearing sides equally well” The Sunday Times

“This funny-sad, honest, necessarily invasive film was Paddy Wivell’s second admirable Wonderland documentary in eight days” The Times review

“Inspiring and heartbreaking by turn, full of daft laughter and emotional cruelty, Granny’s Moving In was an affectionately honest account of learning to cope with one of life’s crueller twists. It’s a story being repeated up and down the land and the question that’s going begging is why don’t we have better ways of looking after ourselves when we get older?” Metro Review

“In tonight’s honest, worthwhile and immensely watchable film – the second by film-maker Paddy Wivell for the Wonderland strand in as many weeks – 83 year-old Peggy moves in with her daughter and son-in-law” The Times

“Over on BBC2, the Wonderland strand had another great project to add to it’s collection: Granny’s Moving In. It showed us how Peggy sees the world, as her brain -as her self- gradually melts around the edges…Accompanied by a bird-like cor anglais and a shifting, restless edit, we saw her dialling through kaleidoscopic fragments of who, over 80 years, she has been – a mother, proud Londoner, a young woman. You could see a ticker-tape parade of notions and memories assert themselves in no particular order – random instructions to be followed, all with equal passion.” Caitlin Moran, The Saturday Times

…Wivell ended (the film) with nicely weighted ambiguity too: “I couldn’t wish for a nicer daughter,” said Peggy, happily ensconced in her deluxe garden shed

Iiving room. But then you had a matched image of her looking out alone through the window and Sue and her husband behind their sliding doors, a family separated by what Larkin once called “sun-comprehending glass”. The Independent

“Peggy, seemingly sensing the loss of independence became less willing to cooperate while Sue and Phil found themselves increasingly parenting the parent…The point of Paddy Wivell’s film though wasn’t to show us the suffering involved but the true meaning of love.” Daily Express

“A difficult subject, handled with discretion” Time Out

Paddy Wivell’s tender film eavesdrops on the family as they all struggle to adapt to their new lives…The final scene, as she is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s will pierce your heart” Radio Times

“Paddy Wivell the film-maker behind the recent Two Jews On A Cruise, returns with an equally engaging documentary that shines a light on the demands of caring for Britain’s ageing population” Metro

“This touching account of a family trying to find the best way of caring for an elderly relation will resonate with anyone who has ever had to tackle that intractable problem…Paddy Wivell’s film negotiates with remarkable grace the tricky boundary between revelation and kindness.” Evening Standard

“Surely one of the best researched, revealing documentaries of the year” The Times

“Documentaries don’t often unearth stories that make front-page news, but that’s exactly what Channel 4′s Cutting Edge strand managed to do” The Telegraph

“It’s rare for documentaries to make the headlines so all credit to the makers of Cutting Edge IAN BRADY: ENDGAMES OF A PSYCHOPATH” Daily Express

“What distinguishes this new film from director Paddy Wivell from the others is the penetrating insight it offers into the remorselessly sadistic nature of Brady’s psychopathy, and his ceaseless attempts to manipulate and control those around him” Sunday Telegraph

“Paddy Wivell’s direction had me on edge throughout. A starred, first class production. Exactly the sort of enthralling and provocative documentary that Channel 4 was set up to screen. Outrageous and anarchic, yet also intelligent with a delightful depravity reminiscent of Warhol’s film’s in the early 1970′s” Evening standard

“Paddy Wivell’s film is fascinating as much for what it depicts as what it doesn’t. There are none of the clichés about seedy rent boys and it is entirely non-judgemental. Intriguing and tantalisingly short.” Time Out.

“Wivell’s film is a very touching portait of a fragile intimacy.” The Glasgow Herald

“About as candid as it gets, really, short of placing cameras beneath a large glass coffee table.” The Guardian

“Paddy Wivell’s portrait of Clapham Common was about as perfect a London documentary as you are going to find.” Evening Standard

“A poignant picture of the spaces between people, and the human need for connection” The Guardian

“Paddy Wivell couldn’t direct a column of ants to a melting bar of chocolate.” The Sun

“A documentary to make you give thanks and say “there but for the grace of God…” Devoid of hang-wringing or judgements, Paddy Wivell’s film shocks and saddens – but in the figure of Tricia it has a reassuring leavening of hope too.” Daily Telegragh

“The attempts we see in Boys & Girls to make an education out of Carla’s love and Jordan’s admiration must be invested before any measurable performance begins at all. Time, energy, emotion: are all spent on just trying to make these children capable of functioning. The teachers are social workers, psychoanalysts, nurses and surrogate parents. No wonder the fight to persuade more people to teach in their schools is one that needs every possible inducement.” Deborah Orr, The Independent

“An eye-opener to more affluent viewers.” The Independent

“The documentary’s strength lies in successfully persuading us to identify with Carla from a very early stage,,,a very touching documentary.” The Observer

“Anybody who still thinks that childhood is a time of blessed innocence and that little girls are made of sugar and spice should have watched Boys and Girls. The programme absorbingly charted dynamics of the playground much as David Attenborough maps the shifting relationships in a pack of monkeys.” Daily Express

“The film clearly reveals how just one person taking an active interest can make a huge difference.” Time Out.

“Terrific.” The Sunday Times

“Gripping and insightful. An extraordinary piece of work.” Front Row, BBC Radio 4

“Riveting” The Observer

“Jaw –droppingly compulsive” Independent on Sunday

“An insight into the life of two people at the centre of a media whirlwind.” The Daily Telegraph
