When a filmmaker is told his next film must be about crime, sex, or celebrity to get funded, he takes matters into his own hands and begins shooting in his home with a cast of characters connected to his own life.

Slyly confronting in its contrivance.

Steve Rose

Guardian

Having chronicled so many aspects of Britishness in his documentary career, Isaacs contrives a sort of microcosmic state of our multicultural nation here: a gentle clash of cultural attitudes and boundaries.

Rated: 3/5

Screen International

There are plenty of ideas at play, but while there are flashes of humour and insight, the film struggles to coalesce into a satisfying whole.

Backseat Mafia

A portrait of a divided Britain but one whose inhabitants have much more in common than not.

One Room With A View

Though The Filmmaker's House is large in scope and heart, there is an unsatisfying sense that many of its ideas about changing preconceptions are heavy-handed and abandoned repeatedly.

Rated: 2/5
