Critics' reviews

"A slender work. Enough hijinks ensue to entertain, but you’re rarely given time to appreciate the weight of each regrettable secret"

Ben Travers: IndieWire
"A classic odd-couple road trip that hits all the familiar notes but still manages to surprise, delight, and occasionally have you reaching for the tissues (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Melinda Houston: Sydney Morning Herald
"Minchin and Alcock make a good road trip pair, and that’s pretty much what 'Upright'is all about."

Joel Keller: Decider
"[Minchin and Alcock] shine in a remarkably charming and moving yarn (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Lucy Mangan: The Guardian
"An absolute treat of a series (...) 'Upright' is a balancing act itself, loose yet structured, sad but funny, touching lightly on heavy matters, taking naturally to the road movie format, moving along easily"

David Sexton: London Evening Standard
"It was far smarter and more deft than it initially seemed. This was a sharp-tongued but touching portrayal of flawed characters with complex family dynamics (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Michael Hogan: Telegraph
"The real strength of 'Upright' is its ability to mix comedy and raw emotion with perfect balance"

Helen Daly: Express
