TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

rogturner GeniusTo conceive and create this crazy story as such an enthralling drama is incredible. Performances seem beyond acting. Very insightful into mental illness without ramming it down your throat. And thankfully, a happy ending. As good as TV gets but I suspect not for everyone.

paul2001sw-1 Good comedy often depends on a mixture of almost-sympathetic semi-heroes and an accompanying cast of grotesques. Will Sharpe's 'Flowers' doesn't quite get the balance right: almost every character is grotesque, and often in ways that seem bizarrely untrue to life. Yes, most of us can seem pretty weird if you catch us on a bad day, but children's' illustrators with a penchant for drawing superheroes with erect phalluses? Good sitcom cleverly sets up situations that makes the absurd seem possible; with 'Flowers', it's the premise. What makes this even stranger is that the writer is apparently trying to tell us a serious story about depression at the same time as revelling in this strange constructed universe. For me, the show brought little in the way of either laughter or tears.

akcomusic This is peepshow meet Tamara Drew with a splash of Cohen brother and Time Burton to boot. A grand cast of bizarre characters all spiraling out of control in a grim situation comedy. Julian Barrett is on top form and the interactions are subtle and don't pander to archetypes instead allowing itself to be a little obscure. Between the suicidal children's book writer, the neurotic trombone instructor, the art hour psychopathic sister and the inventor wannabe brother; there is enough in the just the flowers family alone for a great shower never mind the auxiliary characters that also seem to have had the same level of care put into them. This screams cult classic even if the general British public don't adopt it right away, it will find a very loving home with film/TV/comedy fans everywhere much like "Nighty night" or "Monkeydust".

jonnithomas This black comedy simply isn't either black or a comedy. It's a painful program to watch about a group of misfits with little in common.however, if you can accept that this unappealing group of people with psychological or psychiatric problems are all related then it could be seen as entertaining. that's if you enjoy going to the dentist and having teeth removed without any medication.I wont say don't watch it because perhaps someone somewhere will enjoy it that isn't either related to the cast or the author of this preposterous program.somehow it manages to have half a dozen characters that are just almost believable put together in a melange of bizarre melancholy. each character on their own in a normal setting could be the slightly batty aunt/uncle/sister/daughter/friend that some groups of people have.however, put them all together and it all becomes just a tremendous waste of time.
