Mindhorn review
Mindhorn, for the most part, is a gem of a film. It's got laughs, nostalgia, fun visuals and some really great performances. What difference do a few minor quibbles make when you're laughing all the way from the company logos to the end credits?
Rob Leane, Den Of Geek, 2nd May 2017Mindhorn review
Written by Julian Barratt and Simon Farnaby of The Mighty Boosh, Mindhorn arrives as a flawed but nonetheless amusing film. It begins and ends with a charismatic but frustrating hero attempting to save the day - an entertaining but by no means revelatory cinematic experience.
Helena Snider, The Upcoming, 1st May 2017Mindhorn review
The comedy heaves with belly laughs, notably in an inspired third act in which Barratt's character becomes literally incapable of separating himself from his smallscreen alter ego.
Neil Smith, Games Radar, 1st May 2017Mindhorn review
Though stuck with stretches of guff and looking all too convincingly like video-era rubbish TV, Mindhorn delivers regular proper laughs and eventually wrings just enough drops of pathos to scrape by.
Kim Newman, Empire, 28th April 2017Julian Barratt interview

Andrew Burns, The Big Issue, 27th April 2017Mindhorn review
Half love-letter to 1980's television series such as Lovejoy and Bergerac, half an exercise in how to successfully mix zany comedy and crime caper, Mindhorn is a must-watch for cinema-goers who like their funnies a little off-kilter.

The Velvet Onion, 14th April 2017Mindhorn review
Julian Barratt co-writes and stars in this terrifically funny send-up of 80s detective shows.
Katherine McLaughlin, The List, 20th February 2017Mindhorn review
Julian Barratt's performance is almost Partridge-esque in its clueless pomposity in this hilarious British comedy.
