Sophie Davies, The Velvet Onion, 12th August 2017Mindhorn review
Mindhorn is an incredibly quotable film, and one that groups of people seem to enjoy talking about a great deal.
Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 16th June 2017Review | Mindhorn is the low-key comedy of the summer
New, classic British comedy earns its laughs with brilliant acting.
Tom Twardzik, Popdust, 7th June 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 2017Julian Barratt and Simon Farnaby interview
They were relaxed, friendly, polite and forthcoming; happy to answer questions, riffing off each other's jokes and finishing off one another's sentences. No silences, no awkwardness and absolutely no sense that they're simply going through the motions of a PR obligation.
The Velvet Onion, 7th May 2017Film review: Mindhorn - acceptable in the 80s, and now
The Mighty Boosh creator/stars Julian Barratt and Simon Farnaby bring their daft and weird sensibilities to this glorious silly spoof of all those tacky, pleather-wearing '80s TV detectives you only really see now in marathon re-runs. And boy do they mine it for all the comedy that it's worth.
