"It’s hilarious, at times brutal and just the right amount of absurd - that anyone watching should find something to enjoy in this handsome tale of fame and misfortune."
Connor Petrey, Cinefied
"Murder Ballads is smart, hilarious and madcap in the best ways - exactly the kind of sharp new voice we seek out as 'better horror' ."
Jason Tostevin, Nightmares Film Festival co-founder and programmer
"Writer/director Mitchell Tolliday has crafted a fun little film here... the performances are pitched properly to the film's playful tone, the faux documentary cutaways to actor Simon Callow are amusing and the segues between sections are cute and inventive."
Daniel Baldwin, UK Film Reviews
