Critic Reviews of "Funny Cow"
Hollywood ReporterOctober 23, 2017One of those intriguing but raggedy films that ultimately adds up to less than the sum of its promising parts ...
Flicks.com.auJuly 29, 2018An unflinching account of a woman desperate to survive, yet possessing no misapprehensions about how difficult her task is.
The AustralianJuly 27, 2018Peake is excellent as this tough yet at times amazingly tender woman, and the film tells her story without pulling any punches.
New Zealand HeraldJuly 26, 2018If you can get through the depressing aspect, it does deliver a powerfully told tale of domestic survival that tugs on the heart-strings.
Stuff.co.nzJuly 26, 2018An impressive performance by Shameless' Maxine Peake is at the heart of this challenging, but sometimes compelling 1970-set British drama.
The Age (Australia)July 20, 2018Funny Cow is unusual enough to hold attention, but nonetheless a misfire: incoherent, arty in the wrong ways and often bizarrely misjudged.
Film InquiryApril 30, 2018In a time when far right attitudes are increasingly normalised, we have to ask ourselves, is it ever okay for a film to give audiences the opportunity to laugh at jokes that offer direct prejudice to minorities, regardless of the historical context?
CineuropaApril 27, 2018Despite being a little too schematic and in spite of the occasional cliché, this is powerful stuff.
Shadows on the WallApril 27, 2018It's beautifully filmed and performed with energy and attitude. On the other hand, for a movie about a stand-up comic, it's relentlessly dour.
London Evening StandardApril 25, 2018This film is interested in the point where hate and humour meet. Its protagonist is a real cow. I loved her to bits.
Sunday Times (UK)April 23, 2018Playing a northern working-class woman in the 1970s who tries to become a stand-up comedian, Maxine Peake gives a charismatic performance, but can't make up for the thinness of Adrian Shergold's drama.
