Peter Bradshaw Guardian Some marvellous acting bravura from Spall. Rated: 3/5 Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Ed Potton Times (UK) Proof that world-class acting can always be harpooned by uninspired screenwriting. Rated: 2/5 Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) For such a slight production it feels desperately stodgy and effortful: lots of variety, perhaps, but little spice of life. Rated: 2/5 Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Sarah Cartland Caution Spoilers Spall treads a line between embodiment and impersonation with extraordinary skill. I'm not sure who the film's audience is though - if you don't find old-style variety funny, it'll grate. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Andy Lea Daily Express (UK) Spall's enthusiastic turns aren't enough to power a feature film. With better jokes and a much tighter plot this might have been a less difficult watch. Rated: 2/5 Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall A tour de force for Spall. Rated: 3/5 Jun 12, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
