joe d Daft. But not in a good way. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Patricia M 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. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Les N They seemed to have a good time making this film....a lot better than I did watching it. Awful! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review r96 s Super dumb, yet it somehow kinda worked for me. 'Arthur’s Whisky' is a very low budget picture, I mean just look at that unintentionally hilarious attempt at portraying a visit to Las Vegas (!!). The plot is very silly and, obviously, nonsensical but in the end I kinda dug it, to be honest. The film does plateau at around the hour mark, though the heartfelt conclusion brought it back to win me over. I guessed the general vibe (slow paced story of oldies being oldies) of this movie based on the poster and I was mostly correct, though the opening minutes of this made it look like a proper adventure/fantasy was on the way - it evidently wasn't, so quite the jarring beginning! Diane Keaton, Patricia Hodge and Lulu lead onscreen events and the trio do well enough, as a three they worked better than they did individually. What actually probably helped this for me was the three that played their youngers. Genevieve Gaunt, Esme Lonsdale and Hannah Howland are good. Adil Ray's whole subplot with Lulu/Howland is very cringe, mind you. Looking around, this has not been received all that positively - though a deeper look around does suggest a more even split of opinion, it does work for some. Just look at that expired tomato website - 80%/14% for critics/audience! Fascinating, really. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Nicola W Terrible acting, annoying voices. Terrible terrible film. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review Jacqueline D Looks good, a feel good movie. But you have the wrong picture of Genevieve Gaunt, it's Jodie Comer. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
