My Nikifor (Polish: Mój Nikifor) is a 2004 Polish drama film directed by Krzysztof Krauze. It is based on the life of Nikifor, a folk and naïve painter.
In the United Kingdom, My Nikifor opened with a box office gross of only £7 upon its release in 2007, making it the lowest-grossing film release in British history.[2][3]
Basing on 8 critics, My Nikifor holds an 88% rank on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 6/10.[4]
Wally Hammond of Time Out gave the film 3 out of 5 and called acting as "solid".[5]
In a review for Variety, Leslie Felperin wrote: "Though in most respects a conventional painter's biopic, My Nikifor has some interesting warps in its canvas".[6]
According to Thomas Dawson of BBC, the film "is a spare yet affecting cinematic portrait".[7]
