Larushka Ivan-Zadeh The Times (UK) Aug 17
3/5
Sentimental in the nicest sense, it is kind-hearted, undemanding and entirely non-essential. Go to Full Review
Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 14
2/5
The numbing predictability of the film can’t be acted around, and it’s too counterfeit to delight us all the way. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Whilst some parts of the story feel a bit too contrived, the film’s mixture of good-heartedness and fierce humour carries it easily over most of the bumps in the road. Go to Full Review

5/20
... a lazy, unthinking comedy that would leave even a six-year-old unchallenged and unentertained. Go to Full Review

M Mar 31 A very good movie - heart warming, funny, some very good "reminders" (life lessons) for all. If you're hyper religious, don't take offense - remember it's just a movie that reminds us all that we're human and in need of some type of redemption. See more Eugene B Mar 30 Wildly fun, inspiring and sweet!! See more GuyFiery Mar 29 Judy Davis and Jacki Weaver still have what it takes. Cute movie. Nice New Zealand landscapes See more charmaine M @RT62027294 6d This is a beautiful film, with nostalgic feel good vibes. Strong performances from an incredible cast. Occasional humorous acknowledgment of the massive power imbalance between female and male instructions in the Catholic Church. Stunning New Zealand scenery. Make sure you see it See more Kevin G @Gillrock Aug 9 Judy Davis is an amazing actress and she still ‘has it’ in spades. It’s unfortunate that she wasted her best talent on this silly show. The humour was remarkably thin and was generally cringeworthy. Calling a horse race with ‘golden showers’ running; having an eight year old making the error between the words ‘excommunication’ and ‘prostitution’ was just plain silly and gormless. No, even Judy couldn’t save this show…. See more Brad S @RT05299367 Aug 3 Adorable little film for the whole family. Their world is delightful & so much fun - a feel good time for all.
