A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

From the first scene I was gripped and slowly drawn into the deepest recesses of the characters lives. This is drama at its best, red in tooth and claw, with humorous passages weaved throughout, temporarily lifting the tension only for a brief moment.This is one of the best comedy/dramas ever, it deserves to become a cult classic. If you only watch one thing this year make it flowers.Intense performances from all, but for me Sophia Di Martino was especially memorable and Shun's story especially moving.If you like your drama stylish, taut and a bit bonkers, I recommend Flowers heartily.

I'm not sure if this was written specifically with Olivia Colman and Julian Barratt in mind - but they are utterly brilliant and perfect for their roles. Dealing with dark themes throughout but in an uplifting way that I can't begin to explain, there are crazy surreal moments, tones of infinite sadness, rhythms of tragedy, but also creepy awkwardness and plenty of laughs as well.The whole story is brilliantly written and directed, and Will Sharpe is an inspiration. I'm speechless at how good this is. Drop whatever you are doing and what the whole thing in one go.

Good comedy often depends on a mixture of almost-sympathetic semi-heroes and an accompanying cast of grotesques. Will Sharpe's 'Flowers' doesn't quite get the balance right: almost every character is grotesque, and often in ways that seem bizarrely untrue to life. Yes, most of us can seem pretty weird if you catch us on a bad day, but children's' illustrators with a penchant for drawing superheroes with erect phalluses? Good sitcom cleverly sets up situations that makes the absurd seem possible; with 'Flowers', it's the premise. What makes this even stranger is that the writer is apparently trying to tell us a serious story about depression at the same time as revelling in this strange constructed universe. For me, the show brought little in the way of either laughter or tears.

This is a great dark comedy about an extremely dysfunctional and odd family. It has an honest look on depression and how it effects yourself and the people around you with a humorous twist.Anyone who comes from a dysfunctional family (which I'm sure is most) or has even had depression I'm sure could relate to the struggles and sometimes comedic goings on within. The cast are all excellent and Will Sharpe himself plays a great part in uplifting some of the darkest moments throughout. Olivia Coleman and Julian Barratt are incredible. I'm hooked and I think Will Sharpe as a writer will go far.
