| RTÉ (Ireland)John ByrneWhat it lacks in a script that's also painfully 'right-on' is compensated by a fine cast in a quirky and charming piece of cinematic souffle with Keaton and Gleeson in sparkling form. It's fun. |
| London Evening StandardCharlotte O'SullivanKeaton and Gleeson are sweet together (I like the sweaty, studenty-vibe they create in Emma's attic). It's also nice to see London's housing crisis being discussed. |
| Adelaide ReviewDavid 'Mad Dog' BradleyKeaton and Gleeson deliver charming performances, with her as another sweet but slightly nervy type and him as one of his hairy, scary, bear-like chaps with (you saw it coming) a heart of gold. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallEccentricity triumphs in the end, leaving Annie's ghost fluttering happily evermore. |
| SensacineMarcos Gandía100 minutes of laughter, smiles, tears and not embarrassing feel-goodism. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Hilary A WhiteIt's cloyingly cute and idyllic at times -- but worth it for the two heavyweights centre-stage. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Brian VinerHampstead could, should, have been a sweet romcom for the hip-replacement generation. Alas, the romance is unconvincing and on the whole the comedy has all the bright effervescence of pond water. |
| Irish IndependentPaul WhitingtonHampstead is a slighter, sillier affair, and reminded me of one of Richard Curtis's fluffier endeavours. It's very watchable, though, thanks to the winning pairing of Diane Keaton and Brendan Gleeson. |
| Sky CinemaElliott NobleWhimsical and first-world problematic as the story may be, Keaton and Gleeson create a genuinely enjoyable chalk-and-cheese rapport. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThere is nothing remotely challenging in the roles but Gleeson is charming and understated and there is a real spark of chemistry with Keaton. |
