What to Know

Critics Consensus

A Good Year is a fine example of a top-notch director and actor out of their elements, in a sappy romantic comedy lacking in charm and humor.

Joe Clay Times (UK) A Good Year is a light snack of comfort-food cinema and Scott’s only comedy— not that there are a huge amount of laughs. Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Namrata Joshi Outlook It's a film from which you'd expect the moon, the stars and the sun. What with an actor like Crowe and a director like Scott. Disappointingly, the talented duo gives you the most wishy-washy film of the year. Rated: 1/4 Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator It's not so much A Good Year as A Good Yawn (if not A Full-on Nap). Aug 22, 2018 Full Review Christopher Connor Loud and Clear Reviews Ridley Scott’s A Good Year is an underappreciated gem that shows us a different side to both the celebrated director and lead star Russell Crowe. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Heather Huntington ReelzChannel.com Rated: 6/10 Feb 9, 2011 Full Review Jane Boursaw Common Sense Media Predictable but pleasant movie for teens and up.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review erdene c A failed banker encounters interesting twists and turns when he faces real life Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Uynga U He lost his job and now the property? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Jeremy-James H An interesting film about some complex stories around love happiness and living the good life Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Daniel G I didn't know Ridley Scott had made a RomCom - which was a well-crafted movie that was also quite conventional, though the characterizations were a little more naturalistic than in some films of the same genre. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
