Leave your thoughts about Black Mountain Poets.
| The ListNikki BaughanThe cast is brilliant across the board, particularly Richard Elis as the uber-Welsh Gareth, but Black Mountain Poets belongs to Lowe and Wells. |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherIt is, in its own way, quietly brilliant. |
| Alternative LensJennifer HeatonQuirky British comedy about mistaken identity, sisterhood and poetry. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyThe ending turns soggy. But until then it passes the time divertingly enough. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyWells has a face you never get tired of looking at, and makes self-pity sincere and rather sweet. Cullen's just so relaxed, never pushing a forced idea of "doing" comedy - he's content mainly to react ... |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonA tasty treat of gentle but wise humor, full of as much sympathy but also tough love for its messed-up sisters as they are for each other. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondAmid the not always totally successful comedy, it has an underlying warmth and sweetness that creeps up on you and makes you glad you stayed with it. |
| London Evening StandardCharlotte O'SullivanI can't see many people trekking to the cinema to see this but if you stumbled across it on TV you'd feel really chuffed. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineIt's fairly obvious that the cast and crew began making this film with only the thinnest outline of a plot and characters, because the story feels like it was made up as they went along. |
| The Herald (Scotland)Alison RowatFans of Ben Wheatley's Sightseers will be glad to see Alice Lowe turn up in this British comedy of mistaken identity and bad poetry. That's about as far as the similarities between the two films go, alas. |
