ReelViews -
Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson bring credibility to Last Chance Harvey merely by their presence. The result is a holiday parfait.

New York Post -
Slight but utterly charming.

USA Today -
Last Chance Harvey is the "Before Sunrise" for the over-45 set.

|
Variety -
Stars Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson (reunited after 2006's "Stranger Than Fiction") are so disarmingly charming that even the most treacly moments work an emotional magic.

Los Angeles Times -
Small and surprisingly hopeful film, with beautifully attenuated performances by Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson.
