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.
