Critic Reviews for Tortoise in Love

All Critics (11) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (6)

I think I could forgive the woeful script and the woeful characters and woeful performances if it weren't for all the horribly tedious sexism.

Deborah Ross
The Spectator
It's gentle, well-meaning, a bit watery.

July 12, 2012 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Peter Bradshaw
Guardian
Laugh-out-loud humour and a replacement for Hugh Grant replacement. Bish bosh.

July 12, 2012 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Anna Pintus
Little White Lies
This gently off-beat romance may boast more corn than a packed silo in summer but it's got a tender heart and charm to spare.

July 12, 2012 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

David Parkinson
Empire Magazine
It's sharper than your average Britcom, and perfectly charming, so you'll forgive a bit of amateurism and wooden acting.

July 10, 2012 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Cath Clarke
Time Out
Tortoise in Love is a pungent red herring, a fatally unfunny comedy that's neither warm nor enchanting.

Daniel Green
CineVue
There's an easy charm about Guy Browning's debut film Tortoise in Love that is not only set in Kingston Bagpuize, Oxfordshire, but whose community members became involved in its making

Louise Keller
Urban Cinefile
A decidedly old fashioned film that has a big heart in many of the right places despite its modest means.

Graham Young
Birmingham Post
Rather less fun than a saucy Women's Institute calendar.

Philip French
Observer (UK)
The traditional problem of am-dram persists: unless it's your son/daughter/dad/nan doing their thing, you're never as forgiving as the enthusiastic cast would wish.

Andrew Lowry
Total Film
Does its best to follow rom-com convention, but without a spark between the leads, a captivating narrative or decent dollop of humour, fails to do the minimum required...
