Hannah Strong

Little White Lies

It's a somewhat heavy-handed depiction of Crowhurst's mental devolution, and the lo-fi nature of the film means it feels like a strange cross between an experimental movie and a BBC primetime drama.

HeyUGuys

A capable and engaging telling of this strange story, sadly falling into the shadow of the recent big budget outing.

Rated: 3/5

Projected Figures

Crowhurst is a timely tragic myth not just of English overreaching, but also of hubris, madness and catastrophe whose consequences are left for others.

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

Simon Rumley has always been an inventive film-maker, and he creates memorable visions to convey Crowhurst's mental breakdown. Ultimately, however, the film's cost-cutting focus on a man alone grows a bit too monotonous.

Rated: 3/5
