Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 10/29/2023
3/5
It’s a humane and warm-hearted little road movie, which takes a generous and accepting stance on Amiss’s rather abrasive character traits. But it’s also slightly flat and disjointed... Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 10/27/2023
2/5
A committed central performance and a comforting narrative structure are not enough, ultimately, to save this earnest yet haphazard biopic. Go to Full Review
David Jenkins Little White Lies 10/26/2023
4/5
A delight, and a film which cleverly picks apart the clichés of the timeworn artist biopic. Go to Full Review
Calum Cooper In Their Own League 07/17/2024
4/5
“Typist Artist Pirate King” continues her tradition of exploring the human psyche while simultaneously challenging her audience with her material. The end result is a film that is oddly charming and grows in strength the more you sit with it. Go to Full Review

Overall it is a warm, charming, and valuable film. Go to Full Review

4/5
Inspired by the life of under-appreciated British artist Audrey Amiss, this warm and offbeat road movie unfolds with a terrific sense of playful curiosity. Go to Full Review

Ben W 05/03/2024 No option to delete. Put the stars in the middle. sorry. Today was a Wednesday, 22.05.2024ce. See more Elsie S 11/19/2023 Not a memorable film but good acting. See more Eric M 11/03/2023 Asides from 3 images it was pretty clear why this was a forgotten artist - though it seems putting the word "artist" in front of anyone is supposed to make really poor work seem enlightening. I had never heard of Amiss before this film and felt I hadn't missed much. Her mental illness as portrayed in the film reminded me of every mad person ever who has ever made someone's life hell! From crazy complaining neighbours to paranoid schizophrenics who talk to themselves and then attack other people. It wasn't clear if this was supposed to be an accurate portrayal of a mentally ill person or not but I don't need to see someone having a breakdown nor the audience finding it funny. Far from funny, after 40 minutes (which seemed like 5 hours) I walked out - having realised there was a world out there far removed from someone portrayed on screen who spent most of her life in mental institutions and should have stayed there. Dreadful film - even worse art work. See more Read all reviews
