Movie Reviews

Times (UK) - 8/10 by Kate Muir[Boasts] sly wit, charm and gorgeous black-and-white Scottish seascapes.
Monthly Film Bulletin - 6/10 by MFB CriticsHere the director has been very successful in capturing the particular mixture of canniness and humour, petty deceitfulness and honesty.
User Review - 10/10 by Simon DWonderful little film about the old steam 'puffers' that used to ply their trade up and down Scotland's west (and possibly east) coast. It's a slow-burner and none the worse for that. Let the film and the glorious scenery take you away in its own good time, which after all is the central point of the movie, along with a few subtle things to say about brash, fast-paced life. It includes a memorable scene of a Céilidh (gathering, often with music and dance) that is a genuine rarity in its authenticity. Film lovers may be more familiar with better known classics like Whisky Galore (also directed by Alexander MacKendrick) and Powell & Pressburger's I Know Where I'm Going, but The Maggie is not to be dismissed. Just make sure you're not in a rush. Make yourself a drink and put your feet up. Sweetly whimsical, it's a rare gem.
User Review - 10/10 by Katherine FEaling comedies are the sweetest and the charmingest and pretty much the best movies ever. I think this may be the ultimate Ealing comedy. Not necessarily the best--too many of them are too great for a best--but the culmination of the Ealing comedy spirit. Glorious.
User Review - 10/10 by Alun WWhen a powerful American transport magnate is conned into using an unseaworthy rust-bucket captained by a drunken but wily old Scotsman to ship furniture to his dream home on a Scottish island there is only going to be one winner, and the script for this film must practically have written itself. But it is a beautifully made film - with fascinating location shots, and a wonderful cast. The screenplay is nicely balanced - as although Calvin B Marshall is destined to be taken down a peg or two he is a fundamentally decent chap, while Captain Mactaggart is an out and out rascal who stops off at every inn en route (and off route). Though both lead actors turn in fine performance it is perhaps Tommy Kearins, playing the "wee boy", and the scene of a Gaelic 100th birthday party that really make the film something special. This deserves to be at least as well known as Alexander Mackendrick's three other Ealing comedies.
User Review - 10/10 by jimmy pLike many Ealing films a surprising depth that stays with you. The New World battles with the wiley natives of the Scottish Isles, ancient and eternal. Themes to be amplified years later in the Oscar Winning Local Hero. This is a gem of a film and not to be missed.
User Review - 6/10 by Karsh DCharming Ealing studio film. Along similar lines to Titfield Thunderbolt and Passport to Pimlico but this one is set in Scotlands and is about an old chugger boat.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DSlow but enjoyable culture clash comedy on a boat.
User Review - 6/10 by Anne FThis is a really sweet, gentle film. Wily Scots, incompetent Englishmen, a brash American and the eponymous Maggie, a 'puffer' - all set in a slower moving time past.
