THE SHEEP DETECTIVES (PG) 109 mins Director: Kyle Balda Starring: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Brett Goldstein Synopsis: In this witty, new breed of mystery, George is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can't possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realise they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can become brilliant crime solvers. Awards: Reviews: "An irrepressibly jolly way to pass a couple of hours of lambing season." *** TIMEOUT "It’s a marshmallowy all-age confection, as fluffy as its ovine protagonists, even if some aspects are likely to elicit a species-appropriate meh-eh-eh-eh-eh." *** DAILY TELEGRAPH "It’s a bit much, to be frank. But at the time, the all-hands-aboard desire to take so absurd a premise and insist it be about something offers its Midsomer Murders-lite world a sense of weight and substance. The melodrama helps land the comedy." *** INDEPENDENT |
