	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Maxine Peake dominates the screen (...) A hypnotically belligerent performance from Peake (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"More funny-peculiar than funny ha-ha (...) One of those intriguing but raggedy films that ultimately adds up to less than the sum of its promising parts"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"'Funny Cow' is powered by a crackling anger and a forceful performance from Maxine Peake (...) At times, it feels as though no grim Northern stereotype is left unturned"
		Anna Smith Time Out	"While it may not be a deeply satisfying story, it is a terrific showcase for Peake’s talents, and an entertaining one at that (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
