How it plays out is the movie's story.
Leave your thoughts about Mrs Palfrey at The Claremont.
| Boston GlobeTy BurrIt's an altogether satisfying drama -- the sort of movie some people complain they don't make anymore. So here it is; what's your excuse? |
| Denton Record-ChronicleTodd Jorgenson...the film allows 76-year-old Plowright, for years a wonderful character actress in a wide variety of projects, something to call her own. |
| Bay Area ReporterBrandon JudellIt's funny," Ireland notes. "The intellectual critics always like to give me a smack about being too weepy. But then the audiences that go see it seem to embrace it, which has been great. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie is a delight, in ways both expected and rare. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinThe casting, at least, is magical. Plowright shows both her character's strength and her heartbreaking vulnerability, sometimes at once. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonA sweet movie that fails to make the distinction between old age and death. |
| L.A. WeeklyTim GriersonIn its well-mannered way, this genteel film delicately keeps its platonic May-December love story from turning creepy. But without the sexual undertones and macabre humor of Hal Ashby's classic, Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont is merely a soft, slightly patronizing movie about the poignancy of aging. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerPlowright's performance as a genteel widow in Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont is a small-scale gem, deeply felt without being in the least bit showy. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsDespite the measured pace and the predictable bitter sweet mood, the film is only occasionally enchanting |
| Kansas City StarRobert W. ButlerOne of the season's most humane and heartening films. |
