Critics Consensus

Eternal Beauty deals unevenly yet honorably with complicated themes, elevated by strong work from the ever-reliable Sally Hawkins and David Thewlis.

This is very much a quirky character driven drama. Sally Hawkins does well portraying a vulnerable, demure young lady. Its more sad than it is funny, so I'm surprised its categorised, in part, as a comedy - there are some light hearted moments in it I suppose but its more a depiction of a dysfunctional family at large than primarily an idyllic rom-com. I thought the cast did well and its an interesting watch. It became quite moving after about an hour, when things take a somewhat more dark turn. I think Sally's performance is reasonably memorable and I'd recommend this film to fans of hers. A key word relating to this film and the main character is fragility.

It was amazing. I just finish it. I even cried during the movie. It'll be hard to follow if you don't focus on the movie. The music fits very well with the scenes. I don't think it is that "bad".

2 talented actors submit into this creative mess that leads nowhere. Their performances are convencing but script and it's flow damages this movie severely.

'Eternal Beauty' is too often a portrait of cruelty, and not enough kindness. It is, however, a showcase for the tremendous talents of Sally Hawkins. At times, I wanted to scratch my eyeballs out, but it's beautiful. For me, it just wasn't successful at managing the balance that writer and director Craig Roberts was shooting for. Final Score: 5/10

Eternal Beauty is full of extremely talented people who aren't quite sure what they're doing.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

The tone is darkly comedic, and that's the thing that makes it difficult. It's also the thing that makes it special. But the balancing act is so strange...not wholly successful but it is trying something.

Polygon

Hawkins is masterly, as always, in a role that demands she calibrate her energy differently in almost every scene.

Keith & the Movies

“Eternal Beauty” is an odd and audacious package built on the back of yet another terrific Sally Hawkins performance. Even when the movie loses its way a bit she maintains a strong and emotionally honest character presence.

Rated: 3/5

City AM

Eternal Beauty gets the balance right, portraying (Jane's) viewpoint as a surreal and scary world of whispers and fridges with dismembered limbs. However, Jane herself is always sympathetic, a woman trying her best to make her way through a dark place

Rated: 4/5
