Give Them Wings is a 2021 British drama film directed by Sean Cronin and starring Daniel Watson, Toyah Willcox, Bill Fellows, Jacob Anderton, Katie Sheridan, Rachel Warren, Jonathan Hansler, Debra Stephenson, Tracey Wilkinson and Bruce Payne.

[15] Maguire also stated that Toyah Willcox surprises as Paul's mother and that her 'hardworking and phlegmatic character' was a million miles from her first roles like Monkey in Quadrophenia or Mad in Derek Jarman’s Jubilee '.

[17] Graham Fuller gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and stated that it 'is a crowd-pleasing underdog with guts, grit and an admirable streak of unsentimental humour'.

[18] Fuller was critical of 'Paul’s friendship with a neighbour who fancies himself an inventor (Jonathan Hansler and Debra Stephenson are irresistible as this hearty bloke and his narrow-minded wife)' being 'the source of a preposterous deus ex machina that leads to rapprochements'.

[18] Nonetheless, Fuller conceded that although 'this requires one character to perform a volte-face that should have been foreshadowed much earlier, it’s intolerable to imagine Give Them Wings ending any other way than it does – on a high'.
