A motley group of people with a chronic fear of flying are stranded in the wintry north.

A sequence of bad filmmaking decisions, amplifying characters who never once felt like they exist in the real world.

Rather like the ill-fated plane, the comedy struggles to land.

Radio Times

It's shot like Scandi noir, but its characters and plot developments border on farce or screwball comedy.

Rated: 3/5

Northern Comfort, which combines a fear-of-flying comedy with a trope about people getting stuck in an out-of-the-way place, is gentle entertainment filled with good performances by familiar faces.

Screen Zealots

A dreadful comedy about fearful flyers that sounds good on paper, but is poorly executed in every possible way. The attempts at humor fall with a resounding thud, and what feels like something that’s supposed to be funny just isn’t.

An original crazy script, validated by the funny faces of Timothy Spall and his excellent performance, it's worth the ticket. Dedicated to those who are afraid of flying and will find an inspirational source to promptly continue to fear

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This movie makes no sense at all, the scenario has more holes then Swiss cheese.

Farcical story about a mis matched set of people attending a fear of flying course. It is very silly but quite diverting and amusing. Suspend your disbelief and enjoy a humorous diversion

It's Indie, with a good cast and solid performances. The oddball angle works well, whilst delivering some shocking and perverse moments to boot. Its comedy is on the dry side which I loved. I can't believe it didn't rate higher with critics and audiences… maybe it'll climb the ladder and gain a cult following? I would watch it again

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
