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.

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.

4/5

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.

...a compulsively watchable piece of work that benefits from its earnest, heartfelt atmosphere and raft of above-average performances...

4/5

“St. Vincent” is extremely sentimental and conveniently sweet to the point of cinematic syrup, but so what. Thanks to Bill Murray, it all becomes worth it.

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

A solid movie that didn’t get the love it deserved when it came out. Bill Murray delivers a performance worthy of an award. This one missed me … saw a trailer on Facebook and decided that give it a try. Not the most original script but the performances lift it felt m standard fare. Definite recommend.

Just the right amount of funny, with a heartfelt tear jerking ending.

Who knew Bill Murray was so good? It’s all about his character and he nails it.

So glad I watched this. Had no idea Bill was capable of a role like this, though to be fair I haven’t seen Lost in Translation or Life Aquatic. I am about to watch both now. He was terrific and showed great range. Must have been a strong year for acting I think he should’ve gotten a nod for this.
