Kate Muir Times (UK) Two perfectly good young actors -- Craig Roberts and Charlotte Ritchie -- die a thousand comedy deaths as an up-and-coming folk duo on tour. Rated: 2/5 Sep 23, 2014 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times What day did the Lord create Benny & Jolene, and couldn't he have rested on that day too? Rated: 1/5 Jun 18, 2014 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) While the on-off romance between the central duo is kinda cute, they never for one minute convince as a band - a fatal flaw. Rated: 2/5 Jun 8, 2014 Full Review Daniel Green CineVue Show business is a merciless beast that saps the life force of the young... this we already know. Fortunately, what Benny & Jolene offers besides is a liberal helping of gags and a genuine sense of chemistry between leads Ritchie and Roberts. Rated: 3/5 Mar 22, 2019 Full Review Stefan Pape HeyUGuys An interesting take on becoming a folk star. Rated: 3/5 Jun 4, 2014 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Ultimately a frustrating experience, let down by an over-reliance on improvisation, an irritating story structure, poor direction and a baffling lack of actual singing.
