The Man in the Hat is a 2020 British independent comedy film, the directorial debut of composer Stephen Warbeck. The film is a musically-rooted road trip comedy. The film was made by Open Palm Films and Rather Good Films Ltd and is represented by Kaleidoscope Film Distribution.

The film was released in United Kingdom cinemas on 18 September 2020.

Ciarán Hinds said in an interview with RTÉ "This won't take too much of your time. And you don't need to be blown out of your seats; you can just be a human being and watch this little journey and feel things. It has its own heartbeat, unlike anything else".

The Guardian called the film "a Francophile fantasy" and "a whimsical French car chase". The Upcoming gave the film 4 Stars calling it "a perfect example of the kind of pleasant diversion one should seek during these trying times".

This is wonderful and whimsical is the perfect word to describe this movie. Oscar Winner Stephen Warbeck (Shakespeare in Love) brings his musical charm in this almost no-dialogue movie and uses Ciarán Hinds' facial expressions to maximum use (He speaks only 2 words during the entire movie). The but the backdrops are gorgeous and the road trip is executed nicely. The no dialogue handcuffs the movie and at times it moves at deliberate pace. The car chase is also never exciting and serves no purpose here and the ending didn't bring any resolution and needed to be more heartfelt specially with the photo. Its a unique movie that toys with your patience at times.
