The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared

"A comedy with humour as absurd as the length of its title, 100-Year-Old Man is difficult to describe in a single sentence. However, I’ll give it a go: it’s a Swedish sandwich containing slices of Forrest Gump, Snatch and any single Monty Python film. Though it only takes quarter measures of what makes those films great, the result is still a unique and amusing – if a tad overlong – summation of an impulse-driven man’s life."

"Might not always make sense, but is never dull."

"An amiable mess."

"This picaresque European fantasy has an element of knockabout black comedy that can't conceal its Sweet'N Low taste of sentimentality and whimsy."

"You’ll often smile in amusement, but there’s something worrying about a character who reduces a spell in the Soviet gulags to a few sly gags."

"Misty-eyed and faux mischievous nostalgia romp."

"An absurdist escapade that's quirky fun but not as side-splitting as it thinks it is."
