Eaten By Lions review
The on-screen chemistry between Britain's Got Talent finalist Jack Carroll and Tomb Raider's Antonio Aakeel as a pair of half brothers on a road trip manages to keep enjoyable comedy Eaten By Lions between the ditches.

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 27th March 2019Eaten by Lions review
Despite the plot point involving Omar's meeting of Irfan peaking too early, the brothers' emotional connection is certainly one that keeps the baton going until the very end.

Mostly charming cultural identity comedy, featuring a cast of beloved British comedians.
Katherine McLaughlin, The List, 25th March 2019Eaten By Lions review
This well-intentioned British comedy-drama has a lot going for it, with a cast of fresh new talent and seasoned career-actors handing in solid performances and who all strive to make this a fun and engaging watch.
Jason Palmer, Entertainment Focus, 20th March 2019Eaten By Lions review
Jason Wingaard's film - essentially a small-scale road movie - is sweet, silly and shored-up by layered performances from Aakeel and Carroll as the dedicated siblings dealing with their grief and finding the support they need.

Theo Rollason, The Student Newspaper, 1st July 2018Eaten by Lions review
A great cast including Johnny Vegas and Asim Chaudhry bring a good dose of fun to the new British comedy Eaten By Lions, which premieres at the Edinburgh International Film Festival today. But director Jason Wingard can be clunky in his handling emotional moments - which lean towards over-sentimentalised cliché - and occasionally the comic ones, too.
