Mental Ratings & Reviews
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
Heart, humor and hilarity. . .and a big hunting knife! It's great to be "mental" if it means loving Mental!
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
[Mental] sees Hogan once again utilizing his madcap zaniness and over the top flourishes to explore otherwise serious and emotionally heavy motifs.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
The heart of Hogan's film is in the right place, and Collette is masterful as an agent of anarchy.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
There are some big laughs and fine performances, yet not enough realistic grounding in the characters or story to sustain its dramatic transition in the second half.
Slant Magazine
Tina Hassannia
Given the film's garrulous multitude of characters, one wishes they would all just shut up and sing.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The scenery Down Under looks great and you certainly can't write off a film where Liev Schreiber plays a shark hunter.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
Enjoyable performances can't compensate for the film's lack of control: in Hogan's hands the broad humor sells out the sincerity, and when that mark is missed, we end up at twee.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Writer-director P.J. Hogan may have based "Mental" on an actual incident from his childhood, but the crazy quilt of a movie that resulted feels anything but real.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Mental" wildly overplays the kookiness and quirk.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
Not content to make his point through sharp-tongued comedy, Hogan ends up beating a dead horse -- or shark, as the case may be.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
A lot of times, you simply want the jabbering characters to shut up.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Hilarious but a tonal bucking bronco, the effort is perhaps best reserved for viewers in the mood for a runaway mine cart viewing experience, willing to absorb all the chaos Hogan happily provides.
Film Journal International
Ethan Alter
A kooky comedy in which a spirited cast is almost suffocated by too-aggressive direction.
Village Voice
Marsha McCreadie
Mental skewers the easy-on and -off labels of psychiatry, but some sequences, particularly one of "bad dreams," are sophomoric.
Shared Darkness
Brent Simon
If one wants to see Toni Collette light a fart on fire, well, this misguided reunion with her Muriel's Wedding director may be the only chance they get.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
It's a bewilderingly strange movie, the kind of thing that one might write off as being lost in translation from its Australian origin before realizing it wasn't that funny there either.
The Hollywood Reporter
Megan Lehmann
A cuckoo comedy that puts the fun in dysfunctional.
Variety
Richard Kuipers
Much of the humor is driven by a savage near-hatred of everything suburban, which frequently undermines its own effectiveness, and poses a barrier to auds engaging emotionally with the central character.
Contactmusic.com
Rich Cline
Even for a riotous Australian black comedy, this film packs in just a bit too much chaos. It's consistently smart and funny, with lively characters and especially witty dialog, but some of the sideroads never go anywhere.
