Hang Ups episode 1 review
With a strong core cast, an impressive roster of guest stars and an interesting style unlike anything else on British television, Hang Ups is an enjoyable watch.
Sophie Davies, Cult Box, 9th August 2018Hang Ups episode 1 review
Stephen Mangan's semi-improvised Channel 4 comedy Hang Ups is a circus of silliness and human pain...
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 9th August 2018Sisterly rivalry looms large in this offbeat British comedy. Alice Lowe is the kooky Lisa, who, with sister Claire (Dolly Wells), steals a car and heads for a poets' retreat in the Black Mountains on the England-Wales border. Awkwardly affecting poetic sensibilities, the pair fall for the spiritual grittiness of Tom Cullen's Richard.
Paul Howlett, The Guardian, 24th July 2018Alice Lowe goes full-on horror here, with just a touch of grisly humour. She plays single mum-to-be Ruth, who has a nasty sarcastic tone, and also thinks her unborn baby is telling her to kill people - instructions that she follows with furious savagery. It's a queasy, messily bloody tale of antenatal depression and paranoid delusion.

Gareth Hargreaves, On The Box, 30th March 201710 top tens for Hot Fuzz's tenth
This year, after watching Hot Fuzz for the tenth time, and still picking up little details I'd never noticed before, I went down to the pub for a glass of celebratory cranberry juice. I thought Anglonerd magazine, too, should celebrate the brilliance of this film in a big way, so here is not just a top ten list, but ten top ten lists, highlighting the best one hundred things about Edgar Wright's comedy action flick. *Spoilers*
