I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This was the third show I watched from Greg Davies. First I saw You Magnificent Beast (2018) and then Firing Cheeseballs At A Dog (2011), and so now The Back Of My Mum's Head (2013). This one was my least favorite one. Not that it is not funny because there are some funny moments in it but to me You Magnificent Beast was his best. Maybe because by then he got it more under control to make an audience laugh. In this show sometimes it feels too forced, you're almost waiting for a laughing tape. It's just the fact that Greg Davies sometimes starts fake laughing about a joke he's going to tell and that is a bit annoying. I like to decide myself if I want to laugh or not. But the show is okay to watch, with good interaction with the audience, and some good jokes.
