Though Emily and Donald live in the same London neighborhood of Hampstead, the worlds they inhabit could not be more different. Emily is an American widow occupying a posh apartment she can no longer afford, and Donald is an Irish loner who lives off the land in a makeshift cabin and wants nothing more than to be left in peace. When his home is threatened by real estate developers, Emily believes she has found her new cause -- but gets more than she bargained for when romance blossoms.

Critics Consensus

Hampstead plays matchmaker with a pair of talented veterans, but the sum of their efforts isn't enough to overcome a deeply mediocre story.

Leah Pickett

Chicago Reader

Here Keaton reprises the role of the slightly kooky, klutzy, and lovable gal next door in this toasty crumpet of a film, set around London's scenic Hampstead Heath.

More often, though, Hopkins and writer Robert Festinger pile up the commonplaces hoping they'll result in actual characters.

Rated: 2/4

Los Angeles Times

The quasi-credible friendship that develops between Emily and Harry gives way to a less plausible romance. But the winning, sympathetic Keaton and an enjoyably puckish Gleeson largely sell the contrived setup.

At best, you'll find this to be a corny comedy-drama that you wish you'd never seen. The acting isn't terrible, but not even that can save this from being uninspired.

Robert Festinger's screenplay never really establishes any expectations or promises for what the story and characters will be.

Rated: 1.5/4

Diane Keaton still looks like Annie Hall, a little older and a little wiser. Pairing her with the grizzled but appealing Brendan Gleeson is a plus.

What a beautiful, subtley-paced movie that charms with every gorgeous tree-leafed frame. The late life inquisitiveness and openness to life of Diane Keaton's character paired with Brendan Gleeson's strong masculine conviction make for a sexy partnership that inspires anyone over 60 who watches this gem that there are still possibilites that await. I luved it luved it luved it and have watched it many times.

I quite liked this - its a British film with a curmudgeonly hermit type character who does become somewhat likeable in time. I think his stubbornness is somehow respectful too. Its an easy watch and there are some funny moments present too. It has a bit of a go at people making unfair assumptions at those they deem below them. The characters are a little quirky but in a good way generally. I quite enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Appalling. Shockingly bad. There is too much great content available elsewhere to waste a second of your life on this.

I thought it was better than the reviews, but always have had a positive nostalgic disposition towards Hampstead (the place) and Dianne Keaton, so maybe I'm a bit biased😳
