Review of Book Club (2018)

By Diana Su (12) for Cine Premiere (538) on 03 Jun 2018

[Book Club] works because of its protagonists, their chemistry and their charisma. [Full Review in Spanish]…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Tom Shone (158) for Sunday Times (UK) (753) on 03 Jun 2018

The actresses look as if they're enjoying themselves, and Fonda in particular, her comic timing at full match fitness after several seasons…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 02 Jun 2018

It's not so much the reductive message that the path to happiness must be walked alongside a man; more that the writing is wincingly awful…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 31 May 2018

In Book Club, a bunch of fine actresses in search of a better film pass the time reading…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Kevin Maher (647) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 31 May 2018

Yes, we desperately, as an audience, need this film. Just not, well, this one. Because it's rubbish…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Alistair Harkness (1,042) for Scotsman (1,471) on 30 May 2018

Yet another condescending effort that seems to think audience intelligence drops once everyone is past retirement age…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Brian Viner (589) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 30 May 2018

It sounds like fun, and possibly would be, were it not for a screenplay that appears to have been written by a sixth-former with a bit of help…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 30 May 2018

It offers a gentle diversion and its four leads have more than enough star-wattage to keep it ticking over until its wildly improbable finale…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Donald Clarke (1,051) for Irish Times (1,391) on 30 May 2018

Fonda delivers her dialogue as if tonguing pieces of rancid fish onto the back of her fork. She remains dignified…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Katherine Monk (493) for Ex-Press.com (333) on 30 May 2018

It's a little surreal, but that's just the beginning of this scenic tour of classic monuments that takes us from the Grand Canyon of aging…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Tim Robey (1,578) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 30 May 2018

Except for one good, weirdly rogue joke about a Werner Herzog documentary, there's almost nothing to be said for this mouldy old script…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 30 May 2018

It's a film to remind you that the comedy confectionery of Nora Ephron or perhaps Nancy Meyers is not that easy to replicate, and you can be…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Alan Corr (65) for RTÉ (Ireland) (721) on 29 May 2018

The debate about decent roles for actresses of a certain age in Hollywood is likely to come to a juddering halt with the release of this gobsmacking…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Larushka Ivan-Zadeh (441) for Metro (UK) (700) on 29 May 2018

What's most depressing is that such a glittering line-up of Oscar talent is reduced to working with such floppy material…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Geoffrey Macnab (1,253) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 29 May 2018

When critics look back at the high points in the glittering careers of Fonda, Keaton et al, Book Club is a movie they will leap over as quickly…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Nigel Andrews (1,359) for Financial Times (1,822) on 29 May 2018

The film might not be embarrassing if it had wit, or arch if it had art. With neither it is both…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Alexandra Macaaron (124) for Women's Voices for Change (124) on 28 May 2018

Watching these four phenomenal leading ladies put their all into the film is a rare and wonderful treat…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Emma Simmonds (380) for The List (2,018) on 27 May 2018

A film that's as irresistibly cheeky as it is shamelessly cheesy…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Frank Wilkins (257) for Reel Reviews (165) on 24 May 2018

Makes for a delightfully tacky diversion from the lycra-tighted noise and chaos of the early summer movie season…

Review of Book Club (2018)

By Sarah Marrs (566) for Lainey Gossip (399) on 24 May 2018

Book Club is a fun, light-hearted rom-com for the elder set, and is a gentle reminder that life is long and love is not just for the young…
