The Phantom of the Open

"Roberts occasionally overdoes the whimsy, slipping in cutesy Michel Gondry-ish elements... and it’s a blessing he uses them rarely."

"A sweet feelgood film without too much neatening of the odder edges."

"A quirky Britcom with bite and soul."

"The film does feel a little thin in its later stages, but the inventive performances - Rylance’s in particular - keep the film aloft throughout."

"This underdog golf biopic sometimes swings and whiffs with its hyper-quirky styling, but a bright script and game performances see it through."

"A wise and witty reminder that that the pleasure of doing something spectacularly badly can outstrip the satisfaction of a job well done."

"Amiably daft and sentimental..."

"An amiable little picture..."

"Anchored by an impish Mark Rylance, it takes its cue from the story’s hero: a bit ramshackle, very amiable, always watchable."

"Well below par."
