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.

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

Rated: 3/5

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.

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.

The story’s daft, but the cast treats it like champagne—bubbly, ridiculous, and surprisingly sincere.

I enjoyed this movie, it was original and touched on many relatable topics we all face if we are lucky, and poignantly deals with them with humor.

Seeing the cast I was expecting a fun movie. Really disappointing and switched off half way through.

This could have been great with the casting and idea but I spent the film trying to figure out if I missed something as they jumped around/past/through heavy emotional content and storylines. I'm guessing that the problem was in post production/editing because it seemed so emotionally and logistically disconnected. I crave stories about real women and this was a let down. Although, I did finish watching it while making dinner and folding laundry so it was decent enough for that.

This movie made me embarrassed to be a woman in my 60s. I was expecting something better from the lead actresses and instead my face hurt from cringing by the time it was over. I hope people watching this don't think these 3 vapid, souless, and 2-dimentional characters represent women of any age. It's no mystery that it was produced and directed by a man, Steven Cookson, who has a long list of bad movies on his resume. And the screenplay was by a woman in her early 40's whose only written one other screenplay. Hey CK Films, please stop wasting money on this kind of drivel. And prospective viewers, don't waste yours on this movie.
