The Grand Seduction can't quite live up to the classic dramedies it seems to consciously evoke, but ambles sweetly enough to charm viewers in its own right.

The remake never manages to drum up much excitement for its sleepy hamlet rousing or for its characters, finally filled with purpose. December 23, 2014 | Full Review…

The filmmakers hope for a fable-like charm rather than gritty credibility, but the whole thing feels as cynical as the villagers' convoluted mission. August 29, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's a bit of a soppy, sappy film that wastes Gleeson's talent and incidentally appears to imply that bribing oil-company executives is a victimless crime. August 28, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The Grand Seduction is not really a romcom. It's sweet farce in the Waking Ned Devine genre, the tale of a village making an idiot out of a city slicker-a narrative heist, so to speak. August 7, 2019 | Full Review…

The Grand Seduction is stunningly physically beautiful. Tickle Head Harbor looks like a place most people would actually like to visit, perhaps when something more exciting is happening there. January 12, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…
