Eileen S This and the Holy Grail are 2 of my favourite films. Hard to fault it in any way. Surely one of the best films ever made, and it's still funny when you've seen it dozens of times. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Audience Member Just re-watched after 40 years and still brilliant and if anything more relevant now with all of today's insanity going on! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Neil M The Gold Standard of Satirical Comedy Few films manage to be as endlessly quotable, brilliantly irreverent, and intellectually sharp as Life of Brian. It’s hilarious, scathing, and utterly ridiculous in all the right ways, skewering politics, religion, and blind fanaticism with a wit that still holds up decades later. At its core, the film is about Brian Cohen, an ordinary man mistaken for the Messiah, but it’s really a sharp critique of human nature—how people desperately seek meaning, blindly follow authority, and twist words to fit their own narratives. Monty Python’s humor here is pitch-perfect—absurd yet deeply insightful, clever yet playfully dumb (“He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!”). The film escalates its comedy beautifully, throwing in surreal set pieces (the spaceship scene!), razor-sharp political satire (the People’s Front of Judea vs. the Judean People’s Front), and some of the greatest comedic timing in cinema history. It’s a film that stays with you, growing funnier on every rewatch, and for those who love dry, satirical British humour, it’s as close to perfect as you can get. ✔️ Verdict: Life of Brian is Monty Python at their absolute peak, a film that manages to be both intelligent and delightfully idiotic in equal measure. If you don’t find yourself quoting it for years after watching, you probably weren’t paying attention. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Kevin P A very funny and sharp satire of religion and the human mob psychology behind it with a great what-if scenario where the messiah is just some guy who accidentally stumbled into it. The ending song is hilarious and bittersweet with its realist yet uplifting tone about keeping your chin up even in the face of certain doom and our inevitable death. It’s so absurd it becomes inspiring. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review thiago s Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, o filme tem um começo bacana com o cara dando um soco na mulher em vez do cara, depois o Brian tentou fugir do soldados do coluseum ele sobe em uma torre e cai e do nada um nave espacial de ets salva ele sem querer e ele sobreviveu, uma nave na época do coliseum antigo e foda-se, depois Brian está na sua casa e mostra sem querer o pau para toda a população da babilônia, agora já no final Calígula manda Brian e seus aliados serem crucificados, com tudo isso o filme deveria ser bem melhor, e eu só recomendo por causas de algumas cenas, e o dialogo do filme foi fraco.
