Andrew Gaudion, Hollywood News, 22nd October 2018#LFF 2018: Stan & Ollie review
Inspired by the book Laurel and Hardy: The British Tours by A.J. Marriot, who also featured as a consultant on the film, Jon S. Baird's Stan & Ollie is part biography and part homage to Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, arguably the greatest stage and screen comedy performers of their time.
Zoe Margolis, Cine-Vue, 22nd October 2018Stan & Ollie: Coogan's a hoot, Reilly deserves an Oscar
This tragic-comic biopic is mostly set in 1953, the year Hollywood comedy legends Stan Laurel and Ollie Hardy toured the UK and Ireland in hopes of revitalising their careers and mending their friendship (damaged by Ollie's willingness to make a movie, 1939's Zenobia, minus Stan).

Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 21st October 2018Stan & Ollie review
Stan & Ollie is a formulaic and unimpressive biopic, but the performances ensure it makes a satisfying watch for fans of the iconic comedy duo.
Lewis Knight, The Mirror, 21st October 2018'Stan & Ollie': film review | London 2018
There was little that was bold or adventurous about Laurel and Hardy's comedy, which is doubtless why their films have not been rediscovered by younger generations over the past half-century; unusually for top comics, their work was benign, not subversive. But even if it only occasionally provokes big laughs, this sweet, small film makes you smile most of the way through, which may be a more uncommon feat.
