Hampstead

"Diane Keaton and Brendan Gleeson aren't an obvious match; despite their combined lovability, this slender romcom doesn't prove otherwise."

"Diane Keaton and Brendan Gleeson are an odd couple in this genteel charmer about a widow who champions a man facing eviction from his Hampstead Heath shack."

"Don't come looking for social realism. This is an unapologetically fluffy film."

"More proof that Richard Curtis's style of comedy-drama is very difficult to imitate."

"Hampstead is light, but who cares? No one wants Macbeth for breakfast."

"Has been cobbled together with "recycled bits and bobs and imagination", but the end result does enough to pass muster."

"Watching it is akin to witnessing Maggie Smith's The Van slowly rear-end Richard Curtis's Notting Hill: a cringing slow-mo car crash best viewed between your hands."

"These yin and yang performers complement each other nicely, like tangy rhubarb and sweet, thick custard. It's just a shame that the vehicle which has brought them together is so insipid."

"The Best Exotic Tumbledown Squat."

"This slight, modestly sweet and mildly charming affair squarely aimed at the older cinemagoer is just the bill for those seniors' matinées where the ticket comes with a cuppa and a biscuit."
