Leave your thoughts about My Policeman.
| ObserverRex ReedBoth the intimacy and the expansive pain and bravery of bigger emotions in My Policeman leave you with a sense of galvanizing hope. |
| Paste MagazineAurora AmidonPaired with My Policeman’s agile writing and affecting direction, the undeniable chemistry between Styles and Dawson feels like a shining cherry on top. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinMy Policeman is an absorbing, resonant, deeply wistful adaptation of the 2012 novel by Bethan Roberts that will probably be best appreciated — stylistically, thematically, romantically — if judged more within the context of its mainly mid-20th century setting than by contemporary expectations. |
| ConsequenceAmber DowlingWhat’s more universal are the lingering feelings of loss and wasted time, and that wondering of what could have been. It’s a heartbreaking theme to reflect on both in terms of real-world consequences and for the characters at hand, and it’s one that may leave you just a little teary-eyed by the film’s closing moments. |
| The PlaylistGregory EllwoodStyles, night and day here compared to his work in that other fall release, wonderfully inhabits a working-class man fearful of public scrutiny but unable to hide his true self. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonIt is, in fact, good: a simple, well told story, about an impossible love decades ago, and the collateral damage that results. |
| Arizona RepublicKimi RobinsonMy Policeman weaves a compelling tale of star-crossed love through different perspectives and timelines. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattPoliceman, as emotionally earnest and elegantly made as it is, mostly feels like a movie we've seen many times before: a pleasantly escapist two hours with pretty people in pretty clothes, madly sublimating their feelings until the final, luminous frame. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeAlas, the older actors don’t have all that much to do (editor Chris Dickens keeping cutting back to McKee reading), but the younger trio are strong, albeit restrained, in their roles. Corrin, so great as a wife betrayed in “The Crown” (they played Princess Diana), could do this role in their sleep, while Styles has the tricky task of making Tom’s betrayal feel tragic for all involved. |
| The Associated PressJocelyn NoveckThe biggest challenge for Styles, and for the studio that lists him as one of a six-actor ensemble — albeit at the top of the list, they’re not stupid! — is to mute the confident pop-star magnetism, in service of the story. This he does. At times, though, it seems he’s pressing too hard on that mute button, erasing personality from his portrayal. |
