Brian and Charles

"Sweetly optimistic..."

"There are certain varieties of whimsy that either click with you or don’t."

"If quirky and twee are not one’s cup of tea, Brian and Charles will be an endurance test."

"Like Charles himself... (it's) a sweet, eccentric misfit, just waiting for someone to find it, and love it, despite its flaws."

"Brian and Charles is just daft enough a premise to spark a pilot light of charm, but that makes its superficial meandering so frustrating — the warmth has nowhere to go."

"Unevenly sentimental..."

"Inventive and disarming."

"An oddball comedy that’s charmingly slight in some places, slightly charming in others..."

"Sometimes all that’s necessary is an offbeat sense of humour and a weird enough premise to make a lasting impression."

"It's a little twee... But there's a goofy sweetness overall."

"This is a film that can’t settle on a tone or approach."

"It’s the bromance of the year."

"Doesn’t quite justify feature length but it’s hard to resist a seven foot tall robot in a hula skirt."

"Beautiful, bonkers and unabashedly British..."

"There is a distinct sag in the middle... Nevertheless, at its best it bowls along with considerable charm and wit..."
