Haywood digs into her own teenage memories and unearths something eccentric, tragic and utterly unclassifiable.

New York Times
Subtly evoking DePalma's Carrie and Mean Girls, the film explores not only the evolving relationship between mothers and daughters, but also the perilous world of high school female friendships, popularity and the pressure to fit in.

Anatomy of a Scream
Rating: 4/5 --
It's not always an easy watch but it's a sensitive, assured film with characters you'll warm to and root for.

Time Out
Rating: 4/5 --
Despite its dreamlike qualities, as the film progresses, both Pin Cushion and Haywood show their teeth. Bullying, sexuality, ostracisation, and the social other are themes which Pin Cushion explores to an unnerving and violent end.

The Skinny
Haywood's formidable first feature is at once a ruthless dissection of cruelty, capturing the relentless torment of outcasts for the pleasure of self-styled superiors, and a warm evocation of an interdependent mother-daughter bond.

Village Voice
Rating: 2/5 --
While the mother-daughter relationship is touchingly played...the malevolence of their tormentors...is totally overegged and the finale is so bleak and garish that it derails the film completely.

[P]eculiarly, undeniably original. Iona might seem more deserving of your sympathy, but it’s Lyn who could really crack your heart.
