"The English answer to Man Bites Dog"
- Derek Malcolm - THE GUARDIAN

"The ultimate Nineties nightmare...insights into the psychosexual mind few would dare to addressŠsustains itself brilliantly and the sense of dread and impending doom never falters...thought provoking and excruciatingly relevant"
- Alan Jones - CINEFANTASTIQUE

"One of the most unsettling and controversial assaults on the genre for some time."
- ID MAGAZINE

"This year's British Cause Celebre."
- THE FACE

"One reason for the BBFC's quandary is Ray Brady's direction, which actively subverts the conventional censorship taboos."
- Farrah Anwar - THE GUARDIAN

"The reason that certification took so long was because 'The troubling nature of the film required more than one viewing.' "
- Margaret Ford , Deputy Director of the BBFC quoted in THE TIMES

"Boy Meet Girl is scary, thought-provoking and excruciatingly relevant. Its bleak tone chills the bone and sketches a portrait of a serial killer in the fine Henry tradition. Many critics will call it pornography dressed in Harold Pinter's cast-offs. But their refusal to face the harsh truths it slowly uncovers, mirrors precisely what's happening in blinkered Britain today. Such incisive issues are the significant core of this highly demanding yet acute study in suburban terror from the highly talented Brady bunch."
- STARBUST ISSUE 190

"A man meets a woman in a bar, the two go back to her flat and begin watching porno films. The man passes out and wakes to find himself strapped to a dentist chair. The woman along with her accomplice, begin to torture the man, eventually killing him. That's it...the whole story line to director/producer and writer Ray Brady's controversial low budget thriller. The point of a film like Boy Meets Girl is not to tell a story but to address a subject - that of violence and the portrayal of violence. What in effect, becomes a movie monologue for writers Brady and Jim Crosbie is broken down into many short vignettes, each with its own introductory title card; beginning with "New Experiences", through "I Lied" and "Blind Date" then onto "People in Real Life Don't Walk Around With Bullet Holes in Them". Each has its own message, each adding weight to the argument as a whole. The argument is a complex one and one which is directed at you as a viewer."
- DARK STAR MAGAZINE 1994
