“It’s a lovely idea and there are some great gags.”

“While it doesn't quite achieve the same standards as its recent forebears in British genre comedy, this modest film has amiable, convoluted charm.”

Empire Magazine
Phil Wilding
“Three blokes walk into a pub, stumble across a tear in the space/time continuum and have to decide whether to sacrifice their dreams to save the lives of others. Sounds like the worst set-up for a joke ever, doesn’t it? Yet refreshingly, director Carrivick’s feature debut is both dark, compelling and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny.”

The Times
Dominic Wells
“Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel is, unashamedly, a Mini Cooper of a film: small but nippy and, despite HBO co-producing with BBC Films, very British. It also handles beautifully on the plot twists.”

Time Out
Tom Huddleston
“Wisely restricting themselves to a single location – in space, if not time – Carrivick and writer Jamie Mathieson weave a compelling narrative from simple elements, playing on audience expectations and riffing expertly on time-travel traditions. While hardly groundbreaking, this is smart, amusing post-pub viewing.”

“This engaging comedy feels like a stretched-out TV pilot, but is nicely put together, with enough laughs to make a refreshing change from usual Brit film fare..”

“One or two amusing moments, but not sustainable for 90 minutes.”

“The film resembles nothing so much as an indifferent and wildly over-stretched episode of space sitcom Red Dwarf.”

“There are some good ideas, but I was disappointed not to get an ending that pieced everything together into a satisfying chain of events.”

Total Film
Jane Crowther
“As a TV pilot it might have had potential; but an undercooked, rapidly unravelling script, low-grade production values... plodding direction and an apologetically crap ending are not worth the price of a cinema ticket in these belt-tightening times.”

The Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
“This is the worst film of the week, a dire British comedy, to which the only honest response is to soil and then set fire to the Union flag in the foyer of your local cinema.”

The Independent on Sunday
Nicholas Barber
“Leaving a distinct impression that it was written in the pub by someone just as geeky as its heroes, it's like one of those Doctor Who episodes that don't focus on the Doctor – except it's twice as long.”

The Observer
Philip French
“Through no particular fault of the performers, it is pointless, perfunctory and painfully unfunny.”
