The Rise of the Nutters

About This Movie

So, 'The Rise of the Nutters' is this offbeat comedy that kind of catches you off guard. The setup is pretty wild: you’ve got Ollie left to manage things while Hugh and Glenn are far away, which adds this layer of chaos. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it works in a way that captures the frantic nature of politics. You see Ben Swain, one of the Nutters, trying to navigate his ambitions, and it’s all punctuated by some pretty sharp dialogue, especially when he faces off with Jeremy Paxman. The performances are quirky, and it has a certain charm that's hard to pin down. It feels distinctly British in its humor, with that absurdity woven through the political backdrop.
