British Comedy Guide, 29th September 2022The Obscure Life Of The Grand Duke Of Corsica review
While it's certainly an acquired taste, it compensates for its structural flaws and writing issues with a strong narrative core, a talented cast and a clear thematic vision.
Umar Ali, The Upcoming, 20th September 2021The Obscure Life Of The Grand Duke Of Corsica review

Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 17th September 2021Review: Trying, Apple TV+
Apple TV+'s first British original comedy is an interesting one. It both plays it very safe, with its cosy thirtysomething Camden Town environment and also goes into some unusual territory as it deals with a young couple going through the difficult process of adopting.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 1st May 2020Stanley: A Man of Variety review
In this macabre one-man drama, Spall is marvellous as a psychiatric patient who brings to life a string of showbiz icons.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 15th June 2018Stanley A Man of Variety review
The multiplicity of Spall's performance is admirable, but the multi-character gimmick is becoming dry. Even the surrealism of the film - with Ismael Issa's brilliantly weird and wild imagery - becomes less exhilarating as the audience endures another scene with a dated comedian.

The actor's new film - Stanley, A Man of Variety - echoes David Lynch and a dark Ealing classic. Here he tells why he chose to re-create the giants of music hall as 'English noir'.
