This mockumentary about the heated world of veg growers should be awful - but it's laugh-out-loud funny.
Francesca Steele, i Newspaper, 19th April 2024Swede Caroline review
Although the conspiracy at the heart of this vegetable-based caper isn't as enthralling as it could have been, the joy of this feature comes from watching this ludicrous tale play out.

British Comedy Guide, 12th December 2023Smothered review
Don't expect histrionics from this comedy about the practicalities of love. It's a sweet, deeply nice take on romance that is extremely watchable.
