Reviews
Maxine Peake (Actor)
"Humpty Dumpty is brilliant. I love [the] style and vision! It reminded me of 'The Bedsitting Room'. Great central performance and the psychedelic, mind f*ck, shattering fragments of it all. [Stephen Walters] is a sh*t hot writer/director!"

About the film...
In the midst of the 1960’s Merseybeat scene, with the Fab Four and Liverpool’s recording artists at the center of the music world’s universe, Beatles manager Brian Epstein predicted that Tommy Quickly would be the biggest star in the world. That never happened. "Humpty Fu*king Dumpty" is a cautionary tale of fame, its pitfalls, and the necessity of being careful what you wish for.
