"I LOVED PLAINCLOTHES,
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES AT SUNDANCE 2025"
- RAMIN SETOODEH, VARIETY
“Tom Blyth and Russell Tovey smolder and sweat as closeted gay men n bristling police entrapment drama” – The Hollywood Reporter
“By the time Plainclothes reaches its unexpected climatic moment, he’s utterly nailed it. And as the credits roll, all you can think is, “show us more, Mr Blyth. Show us more.” – The Playlist
“The smoldering chemistry between the two is palpable, and Blyth is especially good as a young man wrestling with his identity.” – Deadline
“In many LGBTQ films, the emphasis has been placed on making a statement to others. Here, Emmi is most concerned with internal acceptance. And that’s empowering to more than just himself.” – The Wrap
