The Playlist
This terrific and sublime experience, and strikingly original film, is mandatory watching for the adventurous viewer. - 80
The Telegraph
Off-beat and punk-spirited. - 80
Variety
Helmer Lenny Abrahamson (“Garage,” “Adam & Paul”) puts the pic’s eccentricity to good use, luring in skeptics with jokey surrealism and delivering them to a profoundly moving place. - 80
The Guardian
For a film that champions talent that takes risks, Frank can sometimes feel a little too conventional. The real Sidebottom's wayward genius would be a hard fit for any story arc, but Frank does a good job of dipping into surrealism and pop in equal measure. - 80
Empire
Dreams of rock stardom become a warped reality in this barking-mad but affecting comedy about the side-effects of being a non-conformist genius. - 75
IndieWire
Though more in love with its silliness than the insights buried inside them, Frank works to amusingly irreverent effect when combining the two. - 75
Slant Magazine
The film boldly raises the unanswerable question of whether it's better for an artist to safely isolate his work or tweak it a bit so as to share it with the world. - 60
Time Out
If you'll pardon the cleverness, Frank takes time to wrap your own cranium around, faults and all, and that's a wonderful thing.
