In October 1968, 35-year-old Donald Crowhurst embarks on an adventure to be either the first or the fastest man to circumnavigate the globe. However, the dream turns into a nightmare.

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.

Rated: 2/5

HeyUGuys

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

Rated: 3/5

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

[An] intense, imaginative production.

MaryAnn Johanson

Flick Filosopher

A little bit psychedelic, a little bit queasy, a little bit experimental, a lot existential, this is a jarring, visceral portrait of the around-the-world sailor in over his head.

Rated: 3/5
