Leave your thoughts about Misbehaviour.
| The Irish TimesTara BradyIt’s just a great story, you wonder why nobody thought to make a movie before. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawIf there is a tonal uncertainty in this comedy, then that’s because there was a tonal uncertainty in the real-life events, and the movie nicely conveys how they were at one and the same time deadly serious and Pythonically silly. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperFollowing the playbook of “The Full Monty,” “Calendar Girls,” “Military Wives,” et al., Misbehaviour achieves just the right mix of farcical humor, dry wit and the obligatory dramatic moments when the light banter and sight gags give way to Poignant Confrontations reminding us there are serious undertones to this breezy romp. |
| Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganWell written, -acted, -cast and -produced, this wholly entertaining yet stingingly relevant story of the 1970 Miss World finals should have been a smash hit when it opened in UK theatres on March 13, but events overtook its release. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrMisbehaviour is intersectional to a fault, and keeping all those balls in the air is almost more than the movie can handle. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinGood intentions, deft performances and vivid dollops of period style and sensibility go a long way to patch over the bumps. |
| The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinThe jocular, amiable tone helps deliver the more serious social history lesson throughout, even if sometimes it feels like it’s shouting just a little too loudly to wake up the dimmer students at the back of the lecture hall. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeMisbehaviour says good riddance to a bad era in the brightest, politest way possible: too politely, perhaps, if you’re seeking a feminist comedy that actually lives up to the raucous promise of its title. |
| Total FilmNeil SmithA memorable showdown from yesteryear is recalled in an enjoyable yet frustrating film that stubbornly refuses to pick a side. |
| EmpireBeth WebbKnightley and Mbatha-Raw headline an excellent band of British talent, but the film’s focus feels sadly misguided. There’s a great story within Misbehaviour — we just don’t get to see enough of it. |
