Critics Consensus

Mr. Malcolm's List references countless Regency romps without particularly distinguishing itself from the pack, but it gently entertains as a diversely-cast ode to Jane Austen's works.

Linda Marric

The Jewish Chronicle

Of course it’s all very unoriginal but that’s kind of the point. In fact there is something courageous about a film which doesn’t purport to be anything beyond the well-established genre it seeks to emulate.

Rated: 4/5

Observer (UK)

It’s pleasant, frothy, unapologetically by-numbers stuff.

The Times (UK)

Lightweight, ephemeral and almost meaningless, this Regency-era romance is consistently saved by the stellar presence of Zawe Ashton...

Rated: 3/5

Mr Malcolm’s List might be drenched in predictability, but its diverse cast, sweet romance and comedic zing give this Jane Austen-style story a much-needed edge.

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

It's cliched for sure, but it's the sort of film that many will return to for comfort and will be discovered over and over. A truly delightful diversion.

The story beats are very familiar and there are parts that can drag, yet Mr. Malcolm’s List is a delightful film.
