Catherine Shoard Guardian 07/06/2010
2/5
This is gummy (if welcome) eco-film satire, then, but mostly just a vehicle for tent and crampon gags, and for Mangan to perfect his grating-dolt shtick. Go to Full Review Matt Bochenski Little White Lies 03/19/2010
It is by turns a ferocious 'j'accuse' of the limits of liberal intervention and the myth of personal responsibility, underpinned by a surprisingly bitter current of darkness and despair. Go to Full Review Derek Elley Variety 03/19/2010
With considerable experience in both comedy and genuine docus, helmer David L. Williams... knows exactly the filmmaking cliches he's spoofing, as well as the deadpan comic timing needed to stretch this over feature length. Go to Full Review Mark Adams Screen International 05/03/2024
Beyond the Pole is an enjoyably oddball independent British comedy, made with an engaging edginess. Go to Full Review David Sztypuljak HeyUGuys 05/03/2024
The movie is humorous throughout, and really tugs on the heartstrings... Go to Full Review Michael Leader Den of Geek 05/03/2024
4/5

05/25/2012 great fun. performances are ace. See more 04/15/2011 A british eco comedy, which doesn't have much laughs, but a quite surprising bittersweet ending, which will make u change your mind about one of the main characters...... See more 01/04/2011 Quite fun but pretty lightweight in most ways, this should, perhaps, have gone straight to television and only the impressive locations ever make it feel any more than that. See more 10/19/2010 What starts out as a silly comedy mock-doc turns into a bit of an adventure with some heart. See more 08/14/2010 Weird... not what i expected. See more 07/18/2010 such a bad movie only watched it coz alexander skargurd was in it. and he was brill but the movie was not See more Read all reviews
