Back Audience Reviews

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Majorthebys Charming and brutal

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

johnnylalalogan Better than Peep Show in my opinion. PS seemed a bit too infantile at times, while this has a great story line. Good writing, with funny "down and out" characters. Especially Webb makes a strong performance. A must-see for Mitchell fans.

david2112 Watched the first episode being an avid fan of Mitchell and Webb Look.Very depressing and sad first episode killed any interest i had in the rest of the show.They seemed to be lambasting normal peoples lives and how they dealt with the death of a family member.

mattcook1983 The writing is satisfyingly excellent. Dark humour, much as with peep show, causes that pleasingly awful cringe. Where this differs is that the tension arches its back from the first episode to the last, like a malevolent cat performing a tickle stretch.The level of observational comedy in this is so consistent, I begin to wonder if the writers discovered an unwritten diary of mine labelled "things I half-noticed, but neither properly analysed, nor was diligent enough to write down."As for the compelling darkness, "Back" opens out intrigues to outdo much "serious" TV drama. These are the shadows of comedy - a perspective on real lives that can handle being pushed into caricature.One of the best things I've seen on TV.

tonykendall8 Mitchell and Webb had a great series with Peep Show and I discovered after that they had done their own clever funny Sketch show "That Mitchell and Webb look" but this was an utter disappointment!AlthoughI only watched the first couple of episodes then switched channels. It could be that its a shaky start and they're a bit rusty from their previous success of Peep show so there could be that pressure of surpassing such a successful show!
