“A modest but thoroughly captivating tale that has the look and feel of so many good British films of 25 or 30 years ago, a quality that can no doubt be significantly attributed to that reliable all-rounder Stephen Frears at the helm.” – Todd McCarthy, Deadline Hollywood Daily

“Its pleasures and compensations lie not in plotty complications or some third-act twist, but in the humanity that suffuses an enterprise that is borne of obsession but achieves a form of transcendence.” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

“…a thoroughly entertaining and enlightening film for grownups, and well worth seeing “ – Leonard Maltin, leonardmaltin.com
