As a rope hangs around his neck, Hank prepares to end it all, until he suddenly spots a man (Daniel Radcliffe) laying by the shore. Unfortunately, he is dead and quite flatulent.

Disarmingly odd and thoroughly well-acted, Swiss Army Man offers adventurous viewers an experience as rewarding as it is impossible to categorize.

Danny Leigh Financial Times The third act dissolves back into emo indulgence. But before then, you may just have found yourself briefly watching in wonderment, only disturbed by the nagging feeling that this is all very wrong. Rated: 3/5 Dec 28, 2016 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) Two fine actors giving full-blooded performances can't prevent Swiss Army Man from seeming pretentious and self-indulgent. Rated: 2/5 Oct 3, 2016 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Incredible and not in a good way. Rated: 1/5 Oct 2, 2016 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Daniel Radcliffe gives one of the year’s best supporting performances. Rated: A Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews One of the wildest films you will ever see! Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review No one who watches Swiss Army Man will be able to deny the imagination and idiosyncrasy of what theyve seen.

Terry S I love a film that keeps me guessing and one that is well-crafted. This film will play with you up until the very end! Loved it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Dylan H This movie is ridiculous but that is not always a bad thing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Sam N Swiss Army Man somehow manages to combine juvenile fart jokes with lofty philosophical pretensions. Paul Dano plays Hank, a stranded, suicidal whiner who discovers hope in the form of a flatulent corpse, Manny (Daniel Radcliffe), who doubles as a makeshift jet ski. The film’s bizarre premise and execution are incredible, though not necessarily always in a good way. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Lasse L I always respect when someone commits completely to an absurd idea and this is a great example of that. I'm down for whatever Daniels is cooking at this point. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Adrian G No creo poder recomendar esta película, pero es entrañable y rara, pero lo mejor es la perspectiva que te dan de los seres humanos. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Griffith J Wildly strange & captivatingly unique. The weirdness is a lot but not distracting as the writing & acting are incredibly sharp. The editing, set design, & score are breathtaking with surprising thematic emotions. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
