Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Joe McGovernThe film wallows too much in its subject's glumness, but it comes alive whenever TV actor and co-writer Celyn Jones, whose only previous film credit is 2005's Lassie, plays Thomas as a big shaggy dog.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatStory of the love/hate relationship between the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas and his tour-agent during his first visit to America.
Tribune News Service - 8/10 by Roger MooreThe result is wintry and melancholy, “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” or “Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good Night” in tone. And because of that, it’s a trifle duller than the man himself surely must have been.
Seattle Times - 8/10 by Tom KeoghA haunting account of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' first tour of America in 1950, "Set Fire to the Stars" is at once curiously subdued and unnervingly unpredictable.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzIts appeal probably won't reach outside of an art-house audience.
Total Film - 8/10 by Stephen PuddicombeThink My Week With Marilyn but with Dylan Thomas and shot in luscious black and white and you've got some measure of Andy Goddard's debut feature.
Variety - 8/10 by Guy LodgeIts appreciation of Thomas’ work remains superficial, while the polished filmmaking never quite finds its own poetry.
Sunday Independent (Ireland) - 7/10 by Hilary A WhiteShot in jazzy black and white by cinematographer Chris Seager, and thundering with taste and tempo, Andy Goddard's film just sings.
The List - 6/10 by Niki BoyleA character - and film - overburdened with poetic profundity.
Observer (UK) - 6/10 by Mark KermodeA boisterously rotund performance by co-writer/star Celyn Jones provides the heart of this slight but diverting tale ...
