Military Wives, review
Feel-good story hits all the familiar notes and rings emotionally true.
Joseph Walsh, i Newspaper, 6th March 2020Military Wives review
Feelgood choir comedy strains in vain for laughs.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 5th March 2020Another one of those depressingly chirpy ensemble British films that celebrates the power of community, Military Wives is set on an army base populated by the spouses and children of soldiers serving overseas, mainly in Afghanistan.
Bad news is daily dreaded, and to distract the wives, two women, Kate (Kristen Scott-Thomas) and Lisa (Sharon Horgan) decide to start a choir.
They don't get on, but eventually will, via the medium of terrifying close harmony.
This sort of stuff can write itself, there are some decent performances, and no one ever has the bad taste to ask an Afghan how they feel about being invaded.
Paul Whitington, The Independent (Ireland), 5th March 2020Film review: Military Wives
Military Wives is locked into a plucky Brit-com formula that seems past its sell-by date.
Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 5th March 2020Military Wives review
Two great actresses create feelgood Brit comedy drama.
Chris Hunneysett, The Mirror, 5th March 2020Film review: Military Wives
This is a robustly acted, and fairly well handled drama comedy that does exactly what is expected from it.
Linda Marric, The Jewish Chronicle, 5th March 2020Review: Military Wives
A briskly cheerful film from the director of The Full Monty.
Danny Leigh, The Financial Times, 4th March 2020Military 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 2020Military Wives review
Horgan sounds slightly too posh for her character - otherwise this is pretty good.
Donald Clarke, The Irish Times, 4th March 2020Film reviews: Military Wives
Another feel-good Brit hit from the director of The Full Monty.
