Matthias is a master of his profession. Do you need a "cultured boyfriend" to impress your friends? A "perfect son" to influence your business partners' opinion of you? Or maybe just a sparring partner to rehearse an argument? Whatever it is, just rent Matthias! While he excels at pretending to be someone else every day, just being himself is the real challenge.

Guy Lodge Variety Wenger’s script is a sly, finely balanced thing, pointedly and often hilariously poking fun at corporate and capitalistic ideals of self-improvement and social coordination, without ridiculing the individuals who feel beholden to those standards. Sep 1, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International The smart concept, social commentary and a strong central performance from Albrecht Schuch combine to create a polished, slyly entertaining work that should attract arthouse audiences. Aug 31, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Writer-director Bernhard Wenger has a terrific eye for character detail and situational humour. Rated: 4/5 Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Calum Cooper In Their Own League Matthias is a lonely man who needs to make peace with himself before he can form legitimate connections in place of the fake ones he has amassed. It’s stunning work that’s wonderfully acted and full of ample thematic nutrition. Rated: 4/5 Mar 2, 2025 Full Review Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective Peacock is a really enjoyable, engaging, light-touch comedy of manners which also manages a good balance of more profound points. Feb 16, 2025 Full Review Gary M. Kramer MovieJawn Peacock succeeds wildly, thanks in no small part to Schuch’s remarkable performance and Wenger’s clever plotting and pitch-perfect tone.
