Reviews


83
Entertainment Weekly - Unnamed
Ultimately, Barney Thomson’s roots are exposed too easily, and the question of “where’d they get that from?” often trumps our curiosity of where the film at hand is going, and that’s a problem.
80
The Telegraph - Robbie Collin
Carlyle shoots the story with a propulsive, page-turning energy that’s enjoyably at odds with the Glasgow backdrop, which is dilapidated to the point of timelessness.
60
Empire - Simon Crook
Merrily gruesome black comedy.
60
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
Emma Thompson gives us a scene-stealing performance which is enjoyably macabre.
60
Time Out London - Cath Clarke
There are more than a few false notes here.... Still, the sight of Emma Thompson, wearing old-lady prosthetics and a leopard skin coat as Barney’s mum...is not to be missed.
