Mindhorn review

Mindhorn is an incredibly quotable film, and one that groups of people seem to enjoy talking about a great deal.

Review: Mindhorn Is the perfect summer comedy

Mindhorn is one of those movies that only works for viewers who are open to it. As a person who is very open to the sense of humor on display here, I found Mindhorn to be one of the most boldly original movies to grace screens thus far in 2017. And it doesn't hurt that the movie comes from one half of the mastermind team behind The Mighty Boosh.

Review: Mindhorn

Julian Barratt gives the finest comedy performance of his career in this hilarious caper.

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.

Mindhorn review

Julian Barratt co-writes and stars in this terrifically funny send-up of 80s detective shows.
