Keeping Mum (2006)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: The stellar cast, including Kristin Scott Thomas and Dame Maggie Smith, is certainly an asset, but this black comedy is too uneven.

Critic Reviews for Keeping Mum
All Critics (87) | Top Critics (29) | Fresh (49) | Rotten (38) | DVD (1)
A dark comedy that isn't dark or particularly funny, Keeping Mum ends up being an exercise in heavy-handed whimsy.
A meek little diversion, nothing more.
A modest comedy that wants to be both dark and reassuring at the same time.
Bracket out the ethical concerns of making merry as the body count mysteriously rises and Keeping Mum is an endearing hoot.
It's probably one of the funniest films to come out of England in years.
Cheerfully black-hearted and unfailingly amusing.

i love this movie, i find it so funny and its the best british comedy of the year!! i love the cast and i love the story its thoroughly entertaining!! Maggie smith plays a murderer who has gotten out of prison/mental facility and has come to visit her daughter but without literally telling her daughter so shes come as a guest to look after the children! its a really good movie and is completely worth the watch!!
Super Reviewer
Highly entertaining, good British black comedy. Rowan Atkinson, Maggie Smith, Kirstin Scott Thomas and the rest of the cast are perfect. This is the most understated I have ever seen Atkinson, and marks an interesting evolution for him. Smith is absolutely superb as the straight actress playing the clowning criminal.
