British Comedy Guide, 30th July 2017Review: 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.
Evan Jacobs, Movie Web, 3rd June 2017TVO 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.
Mog, The Velvet Onion, 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 2017The Philanthropist review
Across the board, supposedly soul-searching scenes often come to sound more like shallow, self-centred millennial whines than the intended existential angst.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 27th April 2017Review: The Philanthropist
The audience liked it, and though it won't be remembered as one of the year's great plays, it was good to see a work by a classic playwright in a new production with a cast not used to this form.
