Reviews


80
Time Out London - Cath Clarke
The story is a bit predictable and rough around the edges. But it’s heart-on-the-sleeve sweet.
80
The Guardian - Catherine Shoard
A remorselessly rousing attempt to do for the Scottish pub rock twins what Mamma Mia! did for Abba or Tommy for The Who.
80
The Telegraph - Robbie Collin
The slotting together of songs and plot is often done with a spark of inspiration.
80
Total Film - Unnamed
Pitched perfectly between microbudget miracle "Once" and all-star Aegean romp "Mamma Mia!" What these songs lack in recognition they make up for in feelgood factor.
60
Empire - Unnamed
It may lack the subtleties and emotional wallop of a lo-fi musical like Once, but Sunshine On Leith delivers a bright, cheery, big-hearted smile of a movie.
