Sara Wallis, The Mirror, 1st June 2019Fisherman's Friends: film review
From the poster and the premise, I wouldn't have thought I'd like this film very much but it wins you over, striking notes of authenticity and chords of harmony as it chugs along, a reliable, redoubtable small boat of a British movie, powered by a charming couple, raucous shanties and buckets of fresh fish.

Inspired by a true story, this warm-hearted tale of a singing group from Cornwall is likable, if goofy.
Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 13th March 2019Fisherman's Friends review

Bev Lung, The Upcoming, 11th March 2019Review: Fisherman's Friends

James Mottram, The List, 11th March 2019Fisherman's Friends review
Anyone who's listened to the Fisherman's Friends, whether live or on the radio in the car, will know what a treat they are to listen to, and the film is a fine platform for their talents. The injection of a rather soppy romance and some drama about big businessmen buying a pub does distract, but when the film turns its focus solely on the titular musicians, it's a dead cert to entertain existing fans and win over plenty more.
