Reviews


85
TheWrap - Unnamed
This is a fine, funny and moving film tribute to the efforts and passions of its titular heroine, a woman who lived out her dreams, at any price.
80
Screen International - Fionnuala Halligan
Bouquets all round: Stephen Frears goes broad in Florence Foster Jenkins, and the appeal should be wide.
80
Time Out London - Cath Clarke
Director Stephen Frears sketches out her tragic backstory, and Streep in grande dame mode is not to be missed.
80
Total Film - Jamie Graham
With Streep on grandstanding form and Grant given a rare chance to show his range, this is an intelligent dramedy that moves and amuses.
80
Slate - Dana Stevens
Streep, who has long enjoyed playing women endowed with more than the average supply of gusto, makes the character’s delusional faith in her own talent so infectious that we ache at the thought of Florence’s impending humiliation even as we prepare ourselves to laugh at it.
