      Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) This too could be hilarious, if we weren’t being invited to accept the character at face value as the salt of the earth. As things stand, he’s fascinating but not entirely human -- at least, not as human as Paddington Bear. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian Suit-and-tie Mike worries about the gutter. Jean and the twins look to the stars. The man at the centre of it all, the husband, father and hoodwinker, is somewhere in between. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 12, 2022 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List Can I recommend “The Phantom of the Open” regardless of whether you approach the ball as a convert or run fast in the other direction? Sure. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Christopher Connor Flickering Myth The Phantom of the Open works best as a showcase for its talented cast, proving the versatility of Mark Rylance and Sally Hawkins in particular. This is a constantly fun watch with a real sense of heart and meaning. Rated: 5/5 Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Rafaela Sales Ross WeLoveCinema This wholesome hope is contagious: Roberts makes it impossible to resist thinking of the world as a land of Gumps and Flitcrofts, of indomitable dreamers. What a lovely thought that is. Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Ruth Maramis FlixChatter Film Blog A delightful and thoroughly enjoyable golf Cinderella story. The ever-so-versatile Mark Rylance's portrayal of Maurice is instantly likable, it was effortless to be fully invested in his journey. Rated: 4/5 Feb 26, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
