Flowers: Channel 4's peculiar, poetic comedy treat
Sad, strange and very funny comedy drama Flowers stars Olivia Colman and Julian Barratt.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 25th April 2016Black Mountain Poets review
Neither the jabs at literary types nor the ensemble jokes quite come off in this caper about two women trying to pass themselves off as poets.
Jonathan Romney, The Observer, 3rd April 2016Black Mountain Poets review
It relentlessly mocks its pretentious, self-absorbed losers - all of whom are in need of a good job - although you might just find spending too much time with them every bit as irritating.
Rob Driscoll, Wales Online, 2nd April 2016Black Mountain Poets review
It's far from perfect; the ultra-loose structure and low stakes for the central characters ultimately makes it feel like a journey without a destination in mind. Yet this endearingly offbeat and thoroughly British farce provides small pleasures in spades and is a telling sign that improvised comedy is still a valid approach to storytelling.
Ross Miller, The National (Scotland), 1st April 2016Black Mountain Poets review
Alice Lowe, Dolly Wells and Tom Cullen excel in this flimsy, funny tale of siblings who impersonate beat poets at a retreat in the Black Mountains.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 31st March 2016Black Mountain Poets even make a Tesco receipt funny
When the endlessly moody and peculiar Alice Lowe character reads out a Tesco receipt and tries to give it the hard poetic sell, her sister, in a bonding moment, agrees she's sprung something from nothing through sheer force of will. The same's true of this threesome and this film.
Tim Robey, The Telegraph, 31st March 2016Black Mountain Poets review
Indeed, for all its Five Go Mad in Dorset-esque, decidedly British humour, this is fundamentally a moving study of the nature of adult sisterhood.
