"There’s an eerie similarity between the film’s setting and today’s issue with state funding and support for the arts... There’s a lot of power in what Green is communicating here and the final scene is an exhilarating ode to the bond between brothers. ... With such a brilliant twist on such a huge political event, Victory To The Mimers could even – presumably if it’d had the resources – even been a tad longer..."
"There's so much to be impressed by James's work behind Victory To The Mimers. And one of those being the sheer commitment behind what is a silly idea and going all out to make a seriously impressive piece of filmmaking. Comedy is possibly the hardest genre to make visual and filmic. It's also the most under appreciated. So to see a filmmaker go to the level James has (and without public funding) you have to take your hat off and cap this as a Victory to Comedy."
