This gentle comedy, set in the midst of Glasgow's ice cream wars, still resonates with its superbly observed characters.April 27, 2012
Like most Forsyth films, Comfort and Joy is warm and gentle without being cloying or maudlin. And it somehow avoids off-putting levels of cynicism. Like its main character, Alan, it's just the right amount of not important.March 01, 2016
Full of cherishable moments, Forsyth's direction gives the film a real cinematic sheen.
