Comedian, The (15)

Comedy

Set in the immediate and random background of today's London. The Comedian is a fresh, dramatic and funny story about choices and how not to make them.

The critical consensus

Moments of inertia aside, Shkolnik's scriptless film makes a bold attempt to capture the staccato rhythms of life.

***(*)(*)David Parkinson, Empire Online, 31/05/2013

Projecting a character is hard enough, and harder still without the prop of a script.

**(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 31/05/2013

Depending on your mood, the film might easily test your patience, or score highly as a brave, honest and thoroughly auspicious portrait of thirtysomething confusion, held together beautifully by Hogg.

***(*)(*)Tim Robey, The Telegraph, 30/05/2013

Proves quietly impressive in its ruminations on latter-day London identity.

***(*)(*)Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 30/05/2013

The film has the whiff of reality, but lacks the imaginative shaping that gives form, meaning and a sort of transcendence to the work of John Cassavetes and Mike Leigh.
