Leave your thoughts about On Chesil Beach.
| Daily Mail (UK)Matthew BondWonderful, albeit in a breaking-your-heart, blinking-back-the-tears kind of way. |
| Stuff.co.nzJames CrootIf Brooklyn and Lady Bird hadn't already swayed you, this latest British drama provides more compelling evidence as to why Saoirse Ronan is one of the finest actors of her generation. |
| Film ThreatBrian ThompsonEven if we give On Chesil Beach the thematic benefit of the doubt that is a brilliant exercise in extreme subtlety, Cooke seriously botches the landing. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanOn Chesil Beach doesn't quite rise up to to the level of previous adaptations of Ian McEwan's works. |
| The Pop BreakMarisa Carpico[Ronan's] work as Florence is probably too subtle to get her an Oscar, but she and the film itself deserve to be praised. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyDespite those objections, the film still has a certain pull and engagement factor, and Ronan is as good as usual.(Full Content Review for Parents - Sexual Content, etc. - also Available) |
| Crooked MarqueeEric D. SniderThis lovely, wistful adult drama is full of introspection and memories, much of the action confined to a single room, but it never feels stagnant thanks to intimate performances. |
| Globe and MailMark MedleyThe lead actors are both marvellous.... Yet the film’s most impressive performance might come from director Dominic Cooke, who has delivered an assured, wistful debut. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoA solid drama made from a stellar book, but if you see it even just for the two performances, you won't be disappointed. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonIf you think this is just another exercise in arthouse cinema, you're in for a surprise. |
