At 38, Patrick is left in charge of his parents' naturist campground. When he loses his hammer, it becomes a quest for finding himself.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

An absolute original that should launch Mielants towards a starry career.

Rated: 4/5

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

Yet it's mostly glib and pointless, and provides Jemaine Clement with the kind of invigorating cameo role (as an egomaniacal rock star) that only reveals the shortcomings (again, no pun . . .) of everything around it.

Rated: 2/5

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

A wry and oddly moving tale set in a world largely unencumbered by clothing, but riddled with intrigue, deceit, and the promise of self-discovery.

Rated: 4/5

Tom Shone

Sunday Times (UK)

We can assume that displaced grief plays a part in his behaviour, but Tim Mielants's film also seems to know that a lost possession can be a disproportionate bugbear for anyone.

Rated: 4/5

Shadows on the Wall

It's a clever story playing on issues that are sometimes uncomfortably easy to identify with.

Rated: 3.5/5

Matthew Anderson

CineVue

With his first big screen endeavour, Patrick, Peaky Blinders director Tim Mielants has crafted as unusual an exploration of grief and loss as you are ever likely to see.

Rated: 4/5
