Stanley a Man of Variety Reviews
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Robbie Collin
For such a slight production it feels desperately stodgy and effortful: lots of variety, perhaps, but little spice of life.
Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
Some marvellous acting bravura from Spall.
Times (UK)
Ed Potton
Proof that world-class acting can always be harpooned by uninspired screenwriting.
Financial Times
Nigel Andrews
Spall's Hancock is a wow; so are his Nol Coward and Max Miller.
Caution Spoilers
Sarah Cartland
Spall treads a line between embodiment and impersonation with extraordinary skill. I'm not sure who the film's audience is though - if you don't find old-style variety funny, it'll grate.
Daily Express (UK)
Andy Lea
Spall's enthusiastic turns aren't enough to power a feature film. With better jokes and a much tighter plot this might have been a less difficult watch.
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
A tour de force for Spall.
