Reviews

  • "This is a truthful, down-to-earth and heart-warming story."
    The Arts Guild
  • "As he proved in the Martin McDonagh's black comedy, In Bruges, Prentice is a take-charge actor, and with his protective shell of irony makes a promising protagonist, and Adams's Dakota (a sort of Jane Avril to his Toulouse-Lautrec) is appealing as a troubled flirt."
    Liam Lacey, The Globe and Mail
  • "As Harvey, Prentice brings sensitivity and insight to the role of an outsider desperate to fit in and establish some sort of meaningful relationships, even if the idea terrifies him. "
    Linda Barnard, The Toronto Star
  • "...charming and funny."
    Pat Mullen, Cinemablographer
  • "Prentice makes the most of his close-up in An Insignificant Harvey, creating a believable outsider and giving him a soul."
