Reviews for The Search for John Gissing
A serviceable comedy; uneven, but offers laughs throughout and doesn't make any serious mistakes
In the midst of all this running around Binder finds a lulling tone, thanks mainly to the quality of the performances.
It's Rickman who runs away with the whole film by running the gamut from teflon smoothie to desperate madman.
It's loaded with witty dialogue, and the use of jump cuts gives the movie a distinctive look and a harried, discombobulated pace that absolutely suits the material.
Warring tactics in and out of a London boardroom suggest a Molière farce with the characters and plot to carry it off.
