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

Military Wives review

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

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 review

No surprises, but this feel-good tear-jerker is a crowd-pleaser.

Military Wives review

Left back at base while their partners are away on a tour in Afghanistan, a group of women cheer themselves up by forming a choir. A borderline disastrous enterprise at first, they gradually improve and find themselves becoming a media sensation.

Liz Beardsworth, Empire, 4th March 2020

Military Wives review

Feel-good underdog story hits all the expected notes.

Clarsse Loughrey, The Independent, 3rd March 2020

Military Wives, review

Heartstrings tugged in treacly choir comedy.

Ed Power, The Telegraph, 25th February 2020

Last Christmas: review

There were fine performances from Henry Golding and Emma Thompson (co-writer) as Kate's Yugoslavian mother. She delivered some of the best lines and was a wonderful breath of fresh air and vibrancy to the film. A disappointment and a big one at that was the relationship between Kate and Tom.
