The Middle Man Ratings & Reviews
Film Inquiry
Crockett Houghton
The Middle Man was a happy surprise that is fun and heartfelt, tragic and funny.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
There's a dry wit here which fans of Nordic noir will appreciate, though in places it deprives the film of much-needed energy.
Critic's Notebook
Martin Tsai
In the end, all of Frank's personal wins feel like they have been at the expense of other townsfolk, something that no one - not even the viewers - ever wanted.
The Film Verdict
Stephen Dalton
Norwegian director Bent Hamer's English-language drama is full of quirky charm, but gets stuck in the middle between comedy and tragedy.
The Film Verdict
Boyd van Hoeij
The Middle Man offers plenty of classy polish and quirky charm, even if it never quite explores its own dark depths.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Revelations come to light that set-up a truly macabre climax perfectly suited to tie things off with a bittersweet bow only for the filmmakers to abruptly stop short.

Peter Sobczynski
While it clearly is not going to be everyone's cup of tea, those whose sense of humor tends to lean towards quiet absurdism will definitely want to give it a look.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The storyline is too ridiculous to take seriously, but it never reaches the sort of absurdist heights that would allow us to more fully embrace its stranger elements. Nor does it fully work on a dramatic level...
That Shelf
Rachel West
Bent Hamer's The Middle Man offers a uniquely absurd-yet-emotional take on the denizens of a small town that should delight fans of oddball Danish films.

It's hard for me to explain why I found this movie to be so irritating. Maybe it is because it is pretentious and dealing with topics like death and grief in such a trite way? Either way it was not for me.
Cinemalogue
Rubin Safaya
All of this builds up to an answer that's passable, but only half as weird as the actual things I've seen happen in Bumblef**k, USA.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
The Middle Man is somehow able to find the humor of the situation.
