Kevin Maher Times (UK) Johns provides the film with a welcome narrative through-line and a startling emotional anchor. Rated: 4/5 Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It is richly flavoured, speckled with comic interludes and gloriously cast with Glynis Johns as Jean. Rated: 4/5 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Seemed as weak as the prison characters who were depicted as weak. Rated: C+ Aug 27, 2020 Full Review MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin The treatment of this story provides an unfortunate example of the malaise with which so much British script-writing is afflicted nowadays.
