Mindhorn review
Julian Barratt's performance is almost Partridge-esque in its clueless pomposity in this hilarious British comedy.
Philip Concannon, The Skinny, 16th February 2017Mindhorn review
A Frankenstein's monster of Brit-comedy tropes that still feels fresh and funny.
Alistair Ryder, Film Inquiry, 21st November 2016Mindhorn review
Mindhorn isn't slick, and it's rough around the edges, and we have no idea if it'll connect with a wider audience. But a MacGruber-style cult following at least seems guaranteed, and more than anything, it just feels refreshing for a British comedy to have as much dumb ambition as it has.
The Playlist, 13th October 2016Mindhorn review
A frustratingly slapdash and derivative affair.
Luke Channell, Hey U Guys, 12th October 2016Mindhorn review
Comic dividends follow every time Thorncroft connects with his past.
Charles Gant, Screen Daily, 10th October 2016Mindhorn review
Julian Barratt plays with fanatical gusto a deluded, failed actor given an unlikely chance to redeem his career in this familiarly Partridgean comedy.
