Bruce DeMara Toronto Star It's a tired formula. But saving graces come from two fine performances, the criminally underrated Brian Cox as high-maintenance Sir Michael and newcomer Coco Konig as Dorottya, who's plucky, compassionate and wise. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 17, 2016 Full Review Kate Muir Times (UK) A simultaneously pretentious and amateurish luvviefest. Rated: 2/5 Oct 10, 2016 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Cox's timing throughout is superb -- a comic masterclass that gives way to storms of temper worthy of Lear. Rated: 3/5 Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Brian Cox gets to tackle ample monologues from various Shakespearean works - catnip, I imagine, to any British thespian worth his or her salt. Rated: 2/4 Jul 20, 2020 Full Review Bertie Archer One Room With A View Coco König and Brian Cox are the only stars in an otherwise mediocre show... Rated: 2/5 Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf Though the film is predictable and rather unsubtle, it's worth watching for Cox's virtuoso performance. Rated: 3/5 Feb 20, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

s r Although it seemed a little contrived, Cox stands out with a powerful performance that was both moving and nostalgic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Every so often you find a diamond in the rough. This is one of those occasions. I say bravo. What a lovely movie. Not normally something I would choose but saw it and thought....why not. A surprisingly funny at times film. Don't look at the critic reviews on this one and make up your own mind. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A delightful film about overcoming some obstacles of youth and aging... (quote from IMDb) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Brian Cox played a role that had you connected and at times wondering what to expect next, Awsome how Brian and Coco would go at it their Shakespearean language as I would call it. A good movie to watch and enjoy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Roberta B Predictable plot, acting often over the top. Its okay. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/16 Full Review Read all reviews
