...The Middle Man shows the dreamy artifice behind the MAGA yearning for past prosperity. Here, very real brokenness and misery are refashioned as individual psychosis and collective fiction, and responsibility as something to be escaped.

Feels oddly rootless, never quite persuading as a piece of small-town Americana. Still, it is ruefully entertaining and looks terrific, with a colour palette of sullen blues and ill-natured yellows.

RTThe Times (UK)Mar 10, 2023

It’s like a cast-off Coen Brothers idea that’s trying hopelessly to say something meaningful about work and the neutralising impact it has on our inner lives... The “meaningful” pauses frustrate, while the flab between scenes is intolerable.

The Middle Man was a happy surprise that is fun and heartfelt, tragic and funny.
