“…24 Films has an almost classical rigour and methodicalness that belies its freneticism. The heroic absurdity and adult infantilism that are the mainsprings of his comedy draw on a long tradition of post-Victorian humour: not the ‘innocent’ vulgarity of the music hall, but the anarchicness of The Goons and the self-lacerating ironies of the 30s clowns, complete with their undertow of melancholia. Most typically English of all is Keen’s isolation as an independent filmmaker.” – Tony Rayns.
