Maggie (Melissa McCarthy), a struggling single woman, moves to Brooklyn with her 12-year-old son, Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher). Having to work very long hours, she has no choice but to leave Oliver in the care of Vincent (Bill Murray), a bawdy misanthrope next door. Vincent takes Oliver along on his trips to the race track, strip club and dive bar, and an unlikely friendship is born. The man is a mentor to the boy in his hedonistic way, and Oliver sees the good in Vincent that no one else can.

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. Mar 21, 2017 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire 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. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Sandra Hall 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 Jan 8, 2015 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It does offer a handful of intriguing characters whose lives draw us in for better or for worse. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review An endearing if sappy feel-gooder made pleasant by the affable presence of Bill Murray. Rated: 3/4 Jul 18, 2022 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Bill Murray is our saint of Cinema. Say a prayer. Rated: FOUR STARS Mar 14, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
