This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The movie was hilarious I wish it was longer but at that point the only other twist for the movie would have been aliens. The Movie was quick and it got to the point with some turns. I personally didn't like "the brother" but he will grow on you. It was also good to see Charlie Cox play a new role compared to his dark daredevil the funny witty brit was great. I also liked the camera very much they would show some good angles not all the weird rotation stuff they do in other movies and TV shows it was great stuck angles that made you look at the movie and say hmm so thats what I shall be seeing. tbh most of this review is either repetitive or a filler im just tryna get 10 lines

Really enjoyed this film.. Captured the loneliness living in London can bring and also the loveliness of it. Had generous doses of humour and I found my self laughing out loud at parts. Really warmed to the characters, very well acted by Jodie Whittaker and Paul Schneider and the supporting cast- and the baby was adorable!Great soundtrack and cool film work combined with good performances makes Hello Carter a charmingly enjoyable film to watch. Would definitely recommend to others.I look forward to seeing more work from Anthony Wilcox.

Really really liked Hello Carter and well done to Anthony Wilcox.Charming, subtle and funny. I really enjoyed it. Life in London can definitely be lonely & random at times and the film captures that.I loved the intricacies of the characters and I giggled or laughed throughout the film. The music used and some of the shots of the city were brilliant as well.It's a gentle film by nature and that is part of its charm for me. I could sit back relax and really enjoy the plot, with its various twists and turns.It was fun and well done!!

Catching up on a year of film and wanting to write a review of a British Film... after having the chance to view parts of a film that was invited to see as part of the London Film Festival, have decided to pick on film relatively close to my heart, about a character down on his luck living in London - step forward Hello Carter...Advertised as a comedy by LFF, if anything Hello Carter was not quite sure what genre it should be; although that is probably more a reflection on us viewers and our need to characterise things...it did feel like a stylish rom-com that was neither a romance nor a comedy... maybe that's what made it such a likable film, in that it couldn't be put in a suitable box. Although perhaps in turn that was the main flaw with the film... as it certainly felt that in the case of the script, of being a case of more a sum of its parts, than an overall rounded story.It's fair to say the basic premise of a wild goose chase around London was a bit fanciful and some of the coincidences a bit unlikely in this day and age - but when accepted the story was just that (fanciful) & the over-arching plot was probably meant as no more a vehicle for more subtle examinations of relationships and chance in key individual scenes, some poignant, others interspersed with good ole British humour (well that was my take)... then I think that the filmmakers generally hit the mark and made it work.The lead character perhaps suffered from being neither unlikeable nor lovable, whilst well-acted, Carter seemed safe and it would have been interesting to see a more volatile performance (or character) in that role...however there were a lot of other good performances and certainly whenever Jodie Whittaker's character appeared, the film seemed to have more edge...perhaps more of Hello Jenny over Carter wouldn't have gone a miss. Alongside good supporting performances, it was the subtle direction and especially good camera work that pulled the film together into a highly watchable British film. It was great to see London on film and so well filmed...one of the few low(er) budget British films that I would recommend others to see. Hope to see more of this ilk in future at the London Film Festival. A Solid 7/10 from me.
