"(Dench) is wonderful... building the entire character on the rock of utter self-possession, and then showing that character possessed by another."

—

Roger Ebert

"(The film) transcends its period setting..."

—

The New York Times

"Assuming that rich human insight, great production values, and topnotch acting still count for something, Mrs. Brown should have no trouble finding an appreciative audience."

—

Austin Chronicle

"Before you know it, you're caught up in a difficult but touching friendship, and enjoying a history lesson more than you ever thought possible."

—

Empire Magazine

"Judi Dench's glacial, reserved demeanour contrasts beautifully with Billy Connolly's natural, rebellious exuberance, and their resultant spark of chemistry is undeniable."

—

BBC

"Richly detailed drama... extremely well-acted..."

—

Variety

"The director, John Madden, could have set this up as a minor tragedy, but he has the wit... to play it cool and droll, and he is helped no end by finely gauged performances."
