An absolute original that should launch Mielants towards a starry career.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 3, 2020

We can assume that displaced grief plays a part in his behaviour, but Tim Mielants's film also seems to know that a lost possession can be a disproportionate bugbear for anyone.

It's a clever story playing on issues that are sometimes uncomfortably easy to identify with.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 25, 2020

Yet it's mostly glib and pointless, and provides Jemaine Clement with the kind of invigorating cameo role (as an egomaniacal rock star) that only reveals the shortcomings (again, no pun . . .) of everything around it.

A wry and oddly moving tale set in a world largely unencumbered by clothing, but riddled with intrigue, deceit, and the promise of self-discovery.

Part mystery, part black comedy, part metaphor for loss, Patrick is a nakedly true original. It also has the best caravan fight since Kill Bill Vol. 2.

With his first big screen endeavour, Patrick, Peaky Blinders director Tim Mielants has crafted as unusual an exploration of grief and loss as you are ever likely to see.

Sweet, difficult-to-define quest film nails it.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 20, 2020

[An] enjoyable if self-consciously quirky black comedy...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 18, 2020

Patrick is made with skill and performed with pluck and so proves very absorbing.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 16, 2020

It's as if the only artistic ambition here was to treat nudity with nonchalance, attempting to create layers of depth by laying bare its conceit.

Full Review | Aug 20, 2020

His mix of stoicism, inner turmoil and dogged determination is a winning formula. Patrick is strange and unique vision. Not all heroes wear clothes.

Full Review | Aug 20, 2020

Plays like a Coen brothers-esque caper where everyone just happens to be naked

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 3, 2020

The film is a portrait composed of painstakingly observed tiny details.

As befits a film about nudists, Mielants treats all nudity with such nonchalance it becomes a non-issue after just a few minutes.
