2/5

It's a somewhat heavy-handed depiction of Crowhurst's mental devolution, and the lo-fi nature of the film means it feels like a strange cross between an experimental movie and a BBC primetime drama.

3/5

A capable and engaging telling of this strange story, sadly falling into the shadow of the recent big budget outing.

3/5

Simon Rumley has always been an inventive film-maker, and he creates memorable visions to convey Crowhurst's mental breakdown. Ultimately, however, the film's cost-cutting focus on a man alone grows a bit too monotonous.

3/5

A little bit psychedelic, a little bit queasy, a little bit experimental, a lot existential, this is a jarring, visceral portrait of the around-the-world sailor in over his head.
