What to Know

Critics Consensus

Bigga Than Ben is offensive and maybe slightly misogynistic, but still a provocative and crass slice of immigrant life in London.

3/5
Bigga Than Ben is small-scale, episodic and not without its sins of omission. But it looks as if it speaks the truth and is considerably more entertaining and thought-provoking than most of the week's other offerings. Go to Full Review
Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 10, 2008

Peter Bradshaw Guardian Oct 10, 2008
1/5
Relentlessly crass, smug, charmless and unedifying. Go to Full Review

Tim Evans Sky Cinema Oct 10, 2008
2/5
Where she's less sure is the disintegration of the friendship between Spiker and Cobakka. It's less than convincing and strangely unaffecting because - to be brutally honest - they're both a pair of neo-Nazi gits. Go to Full Review
