Critics Consensus

St. Vincent offers the considerable pleasure of seeing Bill Murray back in funny form, but drifts into dangerously sentimental territory along the way.

Dwight Brown

National Newspaper Publishers Association

Melfi, an astute director, sets a very eccentric and consistently endearing tone that is reminiscent of the quirky spirit of Silver Linings Playbook.

A lovely little movie with a lot of laughs and a good heart - and a warning signal for a direction Murray's career could take, if he's not careful.

Sydney Morning Herald

It's a cliche, but cliches go on existing only because they go on being refreshed, and Bill Murray and friends bring this one back to life with deadpan flair and a vigilant eye for any disfiguring taint of sentimentality.

Rated: 4/5

It does offer a handful of intriguing characters whose lives draw us in for better or for worse.

Bill Murray is great, per usual. The movie strikes a nice balance of being funny without being too precious about its heartfelt moments. The humor and poignancy coexist smoothly. Great performances all around.

Pretty damn good. Bill Murray in outstanding grump form with plenty of support. Unlikely winner - but aren’t all Bill’s winners?
