Review of Mental (2012)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 15 Nov 2012

The whole film is so aggressively clownish that the only possible response is to cringe…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Siobhan Synnot (412) for Scotsman (1,471) on 15 Nov 2012

A bipolar blend of Aussie kitsch and Hollywood sentiment, which relies far too heavily on The Sound Of Music and brassy personalities…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Tim Evans (725) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 15 Nov 2012

Hogan demonstrates a sure ear for droll dialogue and his script - while occasionally too broad for some audiences - is delivered with delirious…

By Cath Clarke (570) for Time Out (7,510) on 13 Nov 2012

Wrong is wrong. And 'Mental' gets it wrong in too many ways…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Oliver Pfeiffer (11) for Total Film (3,532) on 01 Nov 2012

Packed with fine performances, this attack on suburban conformity is surprising, darkly hilarious and cleverly leaves the insanity judgement…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Andrew L. Urban (972) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 27 Oct 2012

The humour is sometimes used to hide the pain, while at other times the drama takes precedence and asks us to switch modes…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Blake Howard (505) for 2UE That Movie Show (314) on 17 Oct 2012

Mental is the love child of Mary Poppins and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It's an Australian cult-classic in the making…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Tim Martain (275) for The Mercury (275) on 05 Oct 2012

It had me in its spell from start to finish and I ran the gauntlet of every possible emotion along the way. Outstanding…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Jim Schembri (1,298) for 3AW (1,025) on 04 Oct 2012

A shrill, uneven affair that is light on laughs and populated with characters who either lack sympathy or deserve more of it...the story constantly…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Josh Forward (13) for Trespass (429) on 03 Oct 2012

It's not just a case of being poorly made, but being so misguided that it will simultaneously frustrate, disgust and bore audiences everywhere…

Review of Mental (2012)

By David Stratton (799) for At the Movies (Australia) (716) on 03 Oct 2012

He did it so well the first time with MURIEL'S WEDDING and it's much lesser this time, I think. For me it didn't work on almost every level…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Matthew Toomey (680) for ABC Radio Brisbane (680) on 03 Oct 2012

If you are willing to go along with the darker comedy, the outrageous nature of many scenes will leave you laughing openly…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 01 Oct 2012

Mental's flaws are never fatal, and its commitment to an unhinged, sometimes episodic, contrast between the crass and the poignant is a welcome…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Cara Nash (110) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 01 Oct 2012

Taking its stylistic cues from its wild leading lady, this daring and darkly-hued comedy matches its subversive laughs with genuine heart…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Adam Ross (121) for The Aristocrat (121) on 29 Sep 2012

due to a mortifyingly miscalculated lead performance and haphazard writing, Mental is often as funny as a burning orphanage…
