A man suffering from insomnia finds solace in picking up strangers.

Cath Clarke

Guardian

Gillen's unpredictable, predator-like charisma and those hilarious who-do-you-think-you-are scenes make it a risk that pays off.

Rated: 3/5

Screen International

Pickups has a rather delicious dark tarry underpinning which repeatedly bubbles up to the surface.

Dog and Wolf

Gillen's self-mockery is appealing, the film is smoothly and professionally shot with something of the feeling of a music video, and it playfully flags up some fascinating conundrums about life in its brief...running time.

Rated: 3/5

Starburst

While Pickups does have some interesting insights into the actor's process and the pressures of fame, its best in its most meta-moments but ultimately its ideas could have been summed up in a short.

Rated: 6/10

Alistair Ryder

Film Inquiry

With nothing new to say on celebrity and most distressingly, nothing remotely funny whatsoever, Pickups feels at least twice as long as its running time.
