with its whimsical tone and lovely French scenery, this warm British comedy pushes all the right buttons; it's utterly charming; it's a series of skilfully staged set-pieces that make us smile and evoke various emotions along the road
on the whole, it makes for pleasant viewing, with the odd laugh or two with generally a lot of smiles all round; Beautifully made, sumptuously shot and a definite change of pace from the hectic bustle of blockbuster cinema
France looks beautiful from a Fiat 500 in this picturesque fantasy about a man on the (very slow) run; It's a Francophile fantasy that may be too twee for some, but the French tourist board will surely be satisfied
drawing upon traditions of silent and absurdist comedy, the movie is rich with clever touches and unexpected interludes; Light, playful, and heartwarming to the end, this is a cinematic journey well worth the ride
"The Man in the Hat" is a whimsical and playful film told through the mostly dialogue-free journey of a man played wonderfully by Ciaran Hinds. Its beautiful locations and quaint humor make "The Man in the Hat" an enjoyable ride
