TVO reviews: Mindhorn
Our roving reporter, Mog, has been lucky enough to see Mindhorn twice. The first time she was so absorbed in the film she forgot to make any notes. That probably tells you all you need to know (about both the film and her). On the second run, she was able to remember why she was there; here's her review.

Jay Richardson, Chortle, 2nd May 2017Film review: Mindhorn
Mindhorn is consistently laugh-out-loud entertaining.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 2nd May 2017Mindhorn review
A washed-up TV star comes out of retirement in this loose but very funny British comedy starring Julian Barratt of The Mighty Boosh.
Cath Clarke, Time Out, 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 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.
