Observer

Exaggerated, infuriating, and about as funny as a root canal without anesthesia.

Los Angeles Times

A raucous, wildly implausible, overlong jumble saddled by a host of misguided creative instincts. It's a potentially warm and delicate story that required a scalpel, but saw the blunt end of a sledgehammer instead.

New York Times

To go with its bizarre plotting and shrill performances, the film seems to have been edited in a Cuisinart. But those are the least of its crimes.

NYC Movie Guru

One of the worst films of 2018. Maudlin, clunky, contrived and painfully unfunny. A total misfire. The actors deserve better.

Rated: 1/10

Radio Times

There's no doubting the laudable intentions to confront the realities of Alzheimer's in an audience-friendly way, but the execution, frankly, verges on the catastrophic.

Alzheimer's dramedy has language, unrealistic behavior.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. It’s clear that nobody involve in the making of this movie has ever had anything to do with anyone with dementia. The acting by the two leads is over the top and just bad. Matt Dillon sleeps his way through the entire thing. For some inextricable reason most of the cast are dressed as if it’s the 1930’s (despite prominent use of iPhones and iPads). Do yourself a favour- watch something (anything) else.

I have also watch the german version "Honig in mein kopf" who was 1000 times better then this !Nick Nolte as person with Alzheimer was not realistic ,Dieter Hallervorden was a person with Alzheimer !And Also Tilda Schweiger as his granddaughter was really adorable!

i LOVED the actress who plays the little girl named Tilda and her mom is good too but Nolte was awful in this and so was Eric Roberts who plays the dr.

Film destinato a dividere totalmente; la performance di Nick Nolte è di altissimo livello; negli ultimi anni l'attore è riuscito a ritagliarsi diversi ruoli con le caratteristiche dell'anziano con problemi di salute, fisici o mentali, che gli hanno reso parecchio. Il suo personaggio funziona in tutto, è bravo nella trasposizione dei sintomi della malattia, i suoi dialoghi sono ben scritti e tutto funziona. Il resto degli elementi invece è vicino al disastro; una trama improponibile per larghi tratti; una famiglia che unisce dialoghi e comportamenti senza senso ed un finale con tanto di corsa ad abbracciarsi a dir poco raccapricciante.

I love Nick Nolte but this was an absolute disgrace of a movie. Paid £6.99 on Amazon and feel gutted. Nick is a great actor but whilst the premise of this story had so much potential the delivery and final product was diabolical. Cliched, Slow, over dramatised, situations that were not believable and worst of all as an english audience member, obvoulsy filmed in the USA whilst pretending to be in England, fooling only the Americans I guess. Also the European characters dresses practically in 1950's cliched traditional costume was frankly ridiculous. Fast forwarded just after the "my child" sound of music nuns scene. Jeez - whoever wrote/directed/produced this needs their ass kicking. Total tripe.
