| Arizona RepublicKerry LengelDespite the silly-sounding premise, it's a wistful, bittersweet meditation on aging and death. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThis drippy dramedy embraces every inappropriate-oldster cliché with depressing calculation. |
| sbs.com.auSimon FosterIt's a set-up that requires a light touch and deft characterisations but Enthoven plods, heavy-handedly, through the tropes. |
