Stan & Ollie
Perhaps we can live in a state of interesting past through two of the most powerful comedians where Laurel and Hardy, the world's most famous comedian, are trying to rekindle their cinematic career. The fun duo begins as they embark on what becomes their hateful song and perhaps an exhausting play tour in Britain, following many wars that had a role in creating a shaky society.

Both a celebration and lamentation about one of the great comedy duos of the 20th Century...one of the best films we've had so far about the dizzying highs and sobering lows of show business.

[T]his one is worthwhile viewing, no matter how lightly it might tread.

A rueful and respectful tribute that stands on its own because of the extraordinary performances of Steve Coogan as Stan and John C. Reilly as Ollie.

Baird's vaguely iffy comedic drama is unusual as it dwells upon the beloved comedy duo when they were older, bitterer and poorer.

Perfectly cast, sharply written, beautifully shot and full of some of the best slapstick and comedic timing since Laurel and Hardy themselves graced the silver screen.

It's a film made with an enormous amount of care and affection. And Coogan and O'Reilly don't just perform. They resurrect.

It's a modest film, but a very good one, and by the end I was quite moved by its valiant belief in decency and in the duo's eternal appeal.

Stan & Ollie does a nice job keeping alive the memory of two gifted comedians whose work should never be forgotten.

In lieu of some emotional extremities, Stan & Ollie suffices as an okay-enough look into the later lives of two legends.

When it's not trying too hard, "Stan & Ollie" is itself a sweetly charming good time.
February 22, 2019
Poignant, funny and deceptively eloquent.

"Stan & Ollie" has plenty to say about the things that bring us together, and the things that keep us together.
