Critic Reviews:

• " As the closing titles state, Branagh set out to tell a story of the people who left, the people who stayed, and the ones who were lost. In that sense, it is a triumph. " – James Luxford (City AM)

• " Branagh's approach is both sentimental and conventional. Its also the proper angle. " – Matt Brunson (Film Frenzy)

• " Branagh brings it all in at just over an hour and a half, a welcome respite from awards season bloat. " – Rubén Rosario (MiamiArtZine)
