Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"The most refreshing thing about the movie is having a more mature woman at the center of the action, and August knows not to overreach here."

San Francisco Chronicle
San Francisco Chronicle"Its portrayal of Britt-Marie sometimes feels condescending, several of its plot turns make no sense, and its visuals add nothing that wasn’t already there in the original book."
