This film is interested in the point where hate and humour meet. Its protagonist is a real cow. I loved her to bits.

Despite being a little too schematic and in spite of the occasional cliché, this is powerful stuff.

Peake is excellent as this tough yet at times amazingly tender woman, and the film tells her story without pulling any punches.

Playing a northern working-class woman in the 1970s who tries to become a stand-up comedian, Maxine Peake gives a charismatic performance, but can't make up for the thinness of Adrian Shergold's drama.

If you can get through the depressing aspect, it does deliver a powerfully told tale of domestic survival that tugs on the heart-strings.

In a time when far right attitudes are increasingly normalised, we have to ask ourselves, is it ever okay for a film to give audiences the opportunity to laugh at jokes that offer direct prejudice to minorities, regardless of the historical context?

It's beautifully filmed and performed with energy and attitude. On the other hand, for a movie about a stand-up comic, it's relentlessly dour.

An impressive performance by Shameless' Maxine Peake is at the heart of this challenging, but sometimes compelling 1970-set British drama.

A story where nothing is learned or gained.
July 29, 2018
An unflinching account of a woman desperate to survive, yet possessing no misapprehensions about how difficult her task is.

Funny Cow is unusual enough to hold attention, but nonetheless a misfire: incoherent, arty in the wrong ways and often bizarrely misjudged.
