What to Know

Critics Consensus

Visually flat and narratively shallow, The Almond and the Seahorse deals with real-life issues in offensively ham-handed fashion.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 05/12/2024
2/5
Clumsily contrived and disingenuous stuff. A film so grating that you long for the sweet release of amnesia. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 05/09/2024
2/5
Worst of all, though, is the syrupy ending that finds an emotional uplift in brain injury and the degradation of memory. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Romney Financial Times 05/09/2024
2/5
It feels strange that all this international talent should have been brought to the UK for a film so confused and half-baked — and that co-director Tom Stern... should have contributed to something that has the impersonally bright look of daytime TV. Go to Full Review
Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 05/15/2024
3.5/5
There's a slightly heightened tone to the material, but the issues are complex and very personal, which makes the film involving. Go to Full Review

The Almond and the Seahorse is filled with sadness and pain, but there are moments of sunlight and happiness, which is ultimately the most anyone can ask for in this life. Go to Full Review

Vanesa V Sep 9 Amazing acting. I don't understand the critics. It's an absolute delight. And the subject couldn't be more relevant. Rebel Wilson acting in this drama was a complete surprise. I loved it! See more Jerod S @jeroduptown 07/30/2023 Wilson and Gainsbourg are mourning the loss of their loved one's memory and in various states of grief. But their little tryst isn't believable and the whole movie feels forced. See more Jarrod N 03/11/2023 I thought this was a beautiful movie. While the start was a little bit slow, it was thought provoking, reflective and brilliant cinematography. It was refreshing to watch a movie that was purely about telling a story of every day people, in an era of movies with VR (which I also enjoy), this was really nice. Also, loved seeing Rebel in a dramatic role! Hope to see more of it. See more isolde l 01/07/2023 beautiful, touching film without trying too hard - love it See more riri r 01/06/2023 First drama of Rebel..a must see film.nice plot!! See more jennifer l 12/16/2022 This is a beautiful film. Exploring a complex issue with kindness and compassion. People with disabilities and differences often live, almost, in a parallel world. It's a subject rarely discussed in cinema and when it is, often in a glossy Hollywood way. This film stays with you. The cast are brilliant, Rebel Wilson, Celyn Jones, Charlotte Gainsbourg & Trine Dyrholm handle a difficult subject with dignity Beautifully filmed with an amazing soundtrack by Gruff Rhys.
