5 Stars! “It’s a poignant trip that put me in mind of, stylistically, Lynch’s Straight Story, and thematically, Bergman’s Wild Strawberries and Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway…Udo Kier is a revelation as Pat, fully-embodying the role, imbuing him with a mischievous charm and a poignant soulfulness, while giving a deliciously dry edge to the delivery of the script’s humour. A standout performance in a distinguished career…Swan Song is a funny, heartwarming, and bittersweet comedy and an instant queer classic.” (The Queer Review)

Grade A! “an odyssey of near-mythic proportions, both epic and intimate in scope. Topped off by one of the best performances of the year, this is funny and sweet, sad and joyous, simultaneously soul-crushing and life-affirming, and deeply, deeply human…Kier is mesmerizing, giving hands down one of the best performances of the year and his career…It’s impossible to look away when Kier is on screen, it’s a quiet, nuanced, devastating showcase for the character actor in an all-too-rare lead role.” (The Last Thing I Saw)

“It’s a remarkable, career-defining performance which I hope will be remembered by next year’s awards season, and a very special movie.” (Boston Hassle)

“It’s a masterfully done tragicomic performance that’s undoubtedly at a career-best level. ” (Cinema Sentries)
