Ambitious pic occasionally creaks under the weight of strained metaphors, but intelligent talking heads and engagingly shambolic cartoons conquer unwieldy narrative and sporadic glibness.

Reviews for Global Haywire
1 - 4 (sorted by critic A-Z; UK critics are listed first)
Top CriticThe film's greatest achievement is not the political commentary or even satire; it is in turning this material into cinematic entertainment with an acidic touch, combining visuals and audio elements with verve.

By injecting such serious issues with a killer dosage of humour, [director] Petty keeps the whole thing energised and interesting, making it perfect for those who hate more ‘academically’ ponderous fare.
