Amy Bowker Little White Lies 05/19/2017
2/5
Clunky and affected, with too little drama to carry the narrative. Go to Full Review Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine 05/18/2017
2/5
Too restrained and polite to really grip the attention, this feels more like comfortable Sunday night TV than cinematic fare. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety 05/12/2017
There's little to dislike about this second shot of "Whisky," with its appealing ensemble and hat-in-hand approach to the Ealing playbook; there's just equally little reason for it to exist. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/27/2020
2.5/4.0
Fairly straightforward remake. Go to Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review 05/08/2020
The film is meant to be lighthearted, and that's mostly what it is... A harmless distraction and low-grade wackiness. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 04/17/2020
3/5
Whisky Galore! is an enjoyable film with comedic elements while maintaining a very serious tone throughout most of it, which ends up adding to the rather dry comedy and fun of it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/10/2021 Cute, but galaxies away from the charm of the original See more 03/11/2019 Good show with engaging characters - critics love to slam a show before the audience can even see it more than one time. See more 01/01/2018 Gregor Fisher gets the film off to a difficult start with his hard to follow Scottish accent. Eddie Izzard's performance is akin to an amateur theatrical society's dress rehearsal. Dull as dishwater, lacks any substance or reason to endure. See more 12/24/2017 Meh. Very slow paced See more 11/05/2017 Wonderful gem of a foreign film! You can safely ignore the reviews here from American critics...who wouldn't know culture if it bit them in the ass! See more 09/03/2017 A great wee craic...full of whimsy and charm. See more Read all reviews
