Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Hans L (60) on 10 Oct 2007

This is low-key situation comedy that can keep you smiling all the way through it…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Stephen B (1,233) on 09 Oct 2007

This is the best film ever made. Funny, poignant, great score, beautiful setting. If you haven't seen it yet, your life is not complete…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Steven S (909) on 08 Oct 2007

The fish out of water tale perfectly told. The final touch is the best image of any recent movie - the red british phonebooth ringing... Is it him…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Rosie G (22) on 07 Oct 2007

You just need to accept the fact that you're stinking rich. No one said it was going to be easy being a millionaire…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Chris W (2,796) on 07 Oct 2007

Gem of a find from a dramatically underappreciated director…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Alex S (2,786) on 06 Oct 2007

Gentle, whimsical humour. Natural beauty and soul defeat naked greed. Mark Knopfler's superb, poignant score…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Simon C (541) on 06 Oct 2007

Perfect little gem of a movie. I loved this the first 20 times I saw it, and loved it more the second 20 times I saw it…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Fiona O (5) on 02 Oct 2007

Good sky, McIntyre - well done. Lifelong love affair with the north west of Scotland all there for when I can't get up north…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Hans O (58) on 30 Sep 2007

A splendid Scottish comedy, more complex than Forsyth's Gregory's Girl. The script executes a fine premise…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By James P (1,130) on 30 Sep 2007

This is one of those films that revives your hope for films as well as humanity…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Nigel N (23) on 29 Sep 2007

Stick it on if you are not feeling well or need a lift..grab a glass of whiskey and off you go...heaven.I could honestly watch this on repeat…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Robbie C (61) on 28 Sep 2007

I didn't really like this when I first saw it, but it gradually weaved its magic on me over time…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Joseph S (1,124) on 27 Sep 2007

The end theme I find very uplifting. I wish I could like the film more, but I feel it's not as funny as it thinks it is…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Greg S (1,081) on 27 Sep 2007

A genuinely feel good film. Funny, clever, poignant, beautifully filmed and acted. Watch it if you're ever feeling down…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Marshall M (35) on 27 Sep 2007

Love the tongue-in-cheek humor: Who's baby is this? Love the ensemble cast--so charming…

Review of Local Hero (1983)

By Ned T (2) on 27 Sep 2007

As Burt Lancaster said at the time â??Local Hero was the best script Iâ??d read since Atlantic City. Whatâ…
