| Daily Mirror (UK)Chris HunneysettThe result is a rewarding and entertaining slice of British fare you can really get your teeth into. |
| London Evening StandardMatthew NormanThis handsomely shot, elegant and engaging film by and large avoids the cloying winsomeness of its title to paint a vivid portrait of an era... |
| Screen InternationalFionnuala HalliganSmothering the screen with good intentions, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (adapted from Annie Barrow’s best-selling comfort novel of the same name) is British security-blanket film-making at its finest. |
| Metro (UK)Larushka Ivan-ZadehThere's gentle humour brought by the quirky country folk, which errs on the broad side but is elevated by classy performances from Tom Courtenay and Katherine Parkinson. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinIt is a confection in every sense, but plump with natural sweetness. |

| Daily Express (UK)Andy LeaSome may require more grit in their war movies but this tasty mash-up of the detective mystery and the swooning romance is witty, big-hearted, and relentlessly charming. |
