Its premise suggests brazenly tasteless humor, but Four Lions is actually a smart, pitch-black comedy that carries the unmistakable ring of truth.

It's difficult to imagine a movie this boldly provocative about the underworld of violent jihad, much less one that actually inspires laughter. February 24, 2011 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The film wisely doesn't try to explore the roots of religious fanaticism and how it can manifest as murder: Instead, it simply accepts the world as it is and focuses on the ridiculous. December 29, 2010 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Four Lions is more interesting than riotous. Consider it an example - a well-paced, clever and understated compassionate example - of a filmmaker wrestling with fear. December 17, 2010 | Rating: 2.5/4

I laughed out loud a lot, and by the time the plot catches up to the plotters and people start dying, there's genuine poignancy amid the ridicule. March 13, 2019 | Full Review…

Those hungry for another taste of Morris' uncompromising, darkly-poignant portrayal of modern British society may well find themselves queuing for another ride down the rubber-dingy rapids. November 5, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

It feels like a missed opportunity all the same... As far as slapstick and farce and knockabout buffoonery go, this is as good as anything but my point, I think, is that this could be about any group. August 30, 2018 | Full Review…
