Stan & Ollie review
The actors' performances are full of love for their characters.
Danny Leigh, The Financial Times, 9th January 2019Review: Stan & Ollie
Stan & Ollie is an incredibly satisfying historical and biographical drama, encapsulating the core tenets of not only what the duo meant to each other, but also what their work means to their fans and the future generations that have grown up either around - or aware of - their movies. Baird's film can ultimately be labelled a cast-iron success, thanks mainly to the fabulous performances of his two main protagonists and their supporting cast.
