British Comedy Guide, 25th June 2021How Flowers tackles mental health with humour
"He's trying to wrestle with his new equanimity, a new peace of mind," says Julian Barratt of Maurice, the melancholic children's author he plays in Channel 4's cult comedy-drama, Flowers, which returned for a second series earlier this month. "But, really, it's catching up with him. It's catching up with all of them."
Lily Pearson, The Independent, 25th June 2018Visionary original or specious whimsy? Either way, Will Sharpe's rustic black comedy - which he writes and directs, as well as playing Japanese naif Shun - is completely itself. We are two years on from the first season, and the brittle mental health of author Maurice (Julian Barratt) is threatened by his wife Deborah (Olivia Colman) writing a book about it. Those two, along with Harriet Walter, who joins the cast as a sexually magnetic priest, smother the thought that there's nothing coherent beneath all the wormwoody oddness. Nightly until Friday.
