~ WEST END WILMA (Silence!)"Dr Lecter portrayed in absolute perfection by Mark Oxtoby. He was the flawless embodiment of pure insanity and evil."
~ STAGE TO PAGE (Silence!)"Mark Oxtoby has the crazed, bulging eyes and viperish lip-flutter of Hopkins as Lecter, his voice slowing at the end of lines as if prowling."
~ THE GUARDIAN (Silence!)"...it’s Oxtoby’s Lecter who steals the show"

~ LATE REVIEWER (Back to the Future)"Mark Oxtoby’s script is a perfect exercise in balancing comedy with serious drama, and manages to make the film feel both light and heavy without any tonal inconsistencies at any point. ‘My Week with Maisy’ is a staggeringly beautiful film, with extraordinary performances and a great deal of charm. It’s a film that sticks with you long after the tears have stopped falling."
~ UK FILM REVIEW (My Week with Maisy)"...the superb script by Oxtoby mishandles nothing. When Oxtoby makes me cry, it is earned instead of stolen. The charming script banishes any hint of cloying, as the humor tempers the looming tragedy without a trace of artificial sweetener."
~ FILM THREAT (My Week with Maisy)
