I'm not sure that everyone would get this film. Maybe not even everyone British. Nor everyone with a sense of humour. BUT... I'm convinced it is a work of genius.
All the characters are well conceived and, it must be said, completely absurd! In fact it's exactly these bizarre and endearing characters that drive the film. Of course these characters are based on some small nugget of truth, but also on stereo-types - in an inoffensive and self-deprecating way. Even the names of the characters are hilarious.
The mockumentary-style works well, but I wonder if some of the jokes are just a little impenetrable for some people. Not that this matters, for all its subtlety, the humour comes thick and fast. It's just that sometimes, some people might take some point seriously - Don't! ALL of the film is truly absurd and a work of complete fiction. The supposed existence of the authoritarian "Morris Circle" is particularly vivid and yet absolute fiction.
This is not a film for everyone, but nonetheless, it deserves to have a far wider audience and I'm sure is destined to become a true cult-classic.
I offer my hearty congratulations to everyone involved. It was far better than I dared to believe it would be. 9/10
