The Day Shall Come: has Chris Morris lost his edge?
A new film by Chris Morris ought to be an event. The agent provocateur of Brass Eye infamy has tended to rustle feathers and spark debate, whatever he does. His last film, Four Lions, dared to find comedy in Islamic terrorism in 2010, when so many wounds were still so fresh. But that was almost a decade ago, and the signs are that Morris is losing his edge, while also in dire need of a new topic.
Demetrios Matheou, i Newspaper, 10th October 2019Review: The Day Shall Come
I expected to laugh like a drain but instead, it was just an occasional gurgle.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 10th October 2019The Day Shall Come review
The heart and soul of Four Lions was its greatest triumph. The jokes were great, naturally. But what made us care about those brainless idiots wasn't the wisecracks. It was the characters underneath. The Day Shall Come is clever - and a serious feat of filmmaking. You just can't quite love it in the same way.

Catherine Shoard, The Guardian, 27th September 2019Chris Morris: There's good satire - and being offensive
Years before the term "cancel culture" took off and before comedians faced comeuppance for offensive tweets, Chris Morris was deemed "the most hated man in Britain." Needless to say, he's well-positioned to dig into these sensitive times -- and, unlike many comedians, he's sympathetic to them.
