Jessica Kiang Variety It’s unfortunate that the film itself is more like a bottom-shelf blend: easily drinkable, highly forgettable, bland. Worse still, it won’t get you even mildly buzzed. Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Jason Bailey RogerEbert.com It’s somewhat jarring that Brian Cox, an actor who is seemingly incapable of a false note, has directed a film that consists of one false note after another Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Esther Zuckerman New Statesman There’s a clunkiness that pervades the entire enterprise. The dialogue is particularly wooden and the actors struggle through mixed metaphors. Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Ross Bonaime Collider Brian Cox's directorial debut, Glenrothan, is cloying at times, but more often, irritating in its presentation of a story we’ve seen so many times before, done poorly. Rated: 3/10 Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Awards Buzz There’s nothing inherently wrong with Glenrothan, but it leaves everything on the surface without trying to dig any deeper. Rated: 4/10 Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Giovanni Lago Next Best Picture “Glenrothan” is, at its best, a straight-to-video homecoming drama that only reaffirms that it’s perfectly okay to be great at one thing. Rated: 3/10 Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
