Arthur's Whisky is a charming, feel-good comedy about living in the moment. When Joan's (Patricia Hodge) husband dies, she discovers he had invented an anti-aging elixir that literally takes the years off. Sharing it with her two friends Linda (Diane Keaton) and Susan (Lulu), the three rejuvenated women waste no time in painting the town red, but they soon realize it's a very different world to the one they remember.

Looks good, a feel good movie. But you have the wrong picture of Genevieve Gaunt, it's Jodie Comer.

This movie had so much potential, it had a good idea and the casting of Diane Keaton means it could have been a classic "older woman" heart warming movie but it falls flat due to its low budget and sometimes atrocious acting from other cast members. Although Patricia Hodge is a well known British actress this seemed way out of her comfort zone and she just seemed really out of place, lulu on the other hand actually looked way more comfortable and her character although not getting as much screen time was way more watchable. An average heart warming movie with few laughs.

The core threesome have a pleasant chemistry and are pros enough to make it work for an audience unlikely to be especially critical.

Common Sense Media

Watching Arthur's Whisky, there's a sense of warmth, friendship, and fun that feels authentic and makes you wonder whether these actors bonded in the same way on set.

Radio Times

The script hurries along at such a frantic pace that it fails to land important emotional moments, only managing to nail a few laughs along the way.

Rated: 2/5

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

Keaton is game as ever, while Hodge provides some sentimental backbone between the whoops. Credit to writer Alexis Zegerman for a commendably daft premise.

Rated: 3/5

Daily Mail (UK)

Arthur's Whisky is not an especially fine addition to the species, but it bowls along with appealing energy and just enough wit to keep the audience smiling, albeit a little indulgently at times.
