Review: Military Wives

If its plotting is as pioneering as a treble clef, this unassuming little number was never pretending to be anything but a tra la to grace under pressure.

Andiee Paviour, Nobody's Reading This But Me, 11th March 2020

Film review: Military Wives

Lightning fails to strike twice for Peter Cattaneo, Oscar-nominated director of The Full Monty, with another heart-warming comedy drama of community spirit in the face of adversity.

Damon Smith, The National (Scotland), 10th March 2020

Military Wives review

I cried so much during Military Wives - to put it in resolutely British terms, a light drizzle turned into a cloudburst and then a solid, steady downpour - I should probably now come with a flood warning.

Sarah Cartland, Caution Spoilers, 9th March 2020

This crowd-pleasing comedy drama from the director of The Full Monty hits all the right notes.

Mark Kermode, The Observer, 8th March 2020

Review: Military Wives

Lacks drama or any real depth but it is nonetheless very watchable.

Aine O'Connor, The Independent (Ireland), 8th March 2020

Inspired by the women who have formed choirs under the Military Wives banner, this drama from Peter Cattaneo stars Kristin Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan as army-base wives trying to run a singing group.

If you thought the story of redundant Sheffield steel workers becoming strippers was a heartwarming piece of cinema, you will take to Military Wives.

Military Wives: one of the must-see films of the year

The film year is not quite the same as the calendar year, effectively running from one Oscar ceremony - this year's was in early February - to the next, with most of the hot contenders for awards glory all arriving in a slightly undignified rush in the last three months.

Matthew Bond, Daily Mail, 7th March 2020

Military Wives strikes all the right emotional chords

Even though we know exactly where we are headed, Military Wives' final number -- compiled from fragments of the women's letters -- strikes just the right emotional chord.
