      Wendy Ide Observer (UK) There may be an audience for a film that locks us in an Airbnb with two narcissistic sociopaths and one character so bland and beige that he barely exists, but for the life of me I can’t imagine who it is. Rated: 1/5 Jul 16, 2023 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard A Kind of Kidnapping begs and borrows from all kinds of classics, including Ruthless People and Shallow Grave, while Maggie’s punky style is surely a homage to that of Clementine Krucyznski, Winslet’s character in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) The germ of a smart idea about a kidnapping gone awry is frittered away among jaded gags and puerile material in this erratic comedy... Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Paul Mount Starburst A Kind of Kidnapping is a vital, urgent slice of modern British cinema, rude and crude but powerful, compelling and utterly contemporary. Rated: 5/5 Jul 18, 2023 Full Review Hugh Barnes The Arts Desk Clark is a talented director who delivers more than just a clever set-up with A Kind of Kidnapping. His characters are both plausible and surprising, and he comes up with several intriguing plot points, even if the dialogue itself could be sharper.

      Andrew H H Largely forgettable. Bade pacing, for such a good idea. Like an elongated sitcom episode. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Wendy H Utterly brilliant. I loved this film. It's funny but it also has some really interesting themes about the state of the U.K. government and also mental health. I loved the female character, even though I'm not sure I was meant to. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
