Andrew Gaudion, Hollywood News, 22nd October 2018#LFF 2018: Stan & Ollie review
Inspired by the book Laurel and Hardy: The British Tours by A.J. Marriot, who also featured as a consultant on the film, Jon S. Baird's Stan & Ollie is part biography and part homage to Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, arguably the greatest stage and screen comedy performers of their time.
Zoe Margolis, Cine-Vue, 22nd October 2018Stan & Ollie: Coogan's a hoot, Reilly deserves an Oscar
This tragic-comic biopic is mostly set in 1953, the year Hollywood comedy legends Stan Laurel and Ollie Hardy toured the UK and Ireland in hopes of revitalising their careers and mending their friendship (damaged by Ollie's willingness to make a movie, 1939's Zenobia, minus Stan).
Charlotte O'Sullivan, Evening Standard, 22nd October 20182018 BFI London Film Festival Review - Stan & Ollie
The love Laurel and Hardy channelled into their routines is clearly reflected - and respected - by the entirety of Stan & Ollie's cast and crew, and it shines through onscreen in this melancholic but heartfelt celebration of the double act.
Tori Brazier, Flickering Myth, 22nd October 2018Review: Stan & Ollie
Making a comedy about two icons of slapstick is a road so full of pitfalls that even the great men themselves would probably just have taken a different route - one marked "new tarmac" perhaps. And yet the film - like the marriage of a six-foot-one, 280-pound Georgian with a rake of a man from the north of England - just works.
