    Time Out
    May 22, 2017

    This adaptation of Stephen Fry's comic novel relies so heavily on voiceover that it's practically an audiobook.

    June 09, 2017

    This British satirical comedy may be a bit of a mess, but since it's based on a Stephen Fry novel, the snappy wit in the dialogue zings with his specific brand of intelligent humour.

    Observer (UK)
    June 04, 2017

    This adaptation of Stephen Fry's novel leans heavily on the elegant profanity of the source material.

    Times (UK)
    June 02, 2017

    A towering, at times monumentally good central performance from the character actor Roger Allam stands at the heart of The Hippopotamus, but it is entirely alone.

    Empire Magazine
    June 01, 2017

    Despite a wonderfully witty voiceover and the bullish playing of a willing ensemble, this bawdy romp consistently stumbles over its more contrived excesses.

    Guardian
    June 01, 2017

    It's still a pleasure, and often a joy, to watch the star measuring out and savouring Fry's rich wordplay like fingers of scotch.

    Independent (UK)
    May 31, 2017

    The writing here is sometimes arch and laboured but Allam puts across even the most stilted lines with enormous brio.

    Total Film
    May 30, 2017

    An old-fashioned romp through the eccentricities of the upper classes, it's a fun mystery with a nicely filthy mind.

    HeyUGuys
    May 26, 2017

    Brought to the silver screen by director John Jencks, the flavour and indelible, idiosyncratic tone of the author is imbued in this faithful adaptation.

    The List
    May 22, 2017

    Lacking the zeal and comic energy that the material requires, The Hippopotamus feels like a soufflé that has failed to rise, leaving a film that can only be recommended to diehard Allam devotees.
