Leave your thoughts about Whisky Galore.
| The ListEddie HarrisonAs with Bill Forsyth's best work, the film's bonhomie might just have universal appeal; such gentle humour may be lost on some, but Whisky Galore! offers a true taste of Scotland that's well worth acquiring. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabWhat makes the film so pleasurable is the humour and lyricism with which it tells its rousing story of whisky-loving small timers coming together together to keep officialdom at bay. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirIts setting on the imaginary isle of Todday off the west coast of Scotland lends itself to gorgeous colour photography and the gentle, subversive wit of the 1949 version has been left intact. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeThere's a place in the world for gentle comedies, and a place in most people's hearts for good whisky. This may not be the best you've ever tasted, but it'll warm your cockles. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisGone is the original’s joyful sense of mischief; what’s left is an inoffensive piece of twaddle that never fully appreciates the ineluctable bond between community spirit and a drop of the hard stuff. |
| Radio TimesBrian PendreighEddie Izzard is excellent as the pompous English Home Guard officer, as is Fenella Woolgar as his wife, who clearly sympathises with the locals. |
| The Young FolksNathanael HoodWhere the original film was deliciously subversive in that conservative "Keep Calm and Carry On" British manner, this remake feels unnecessarily anesthetized. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeOddly stiff where Alexander Mackendrick’s original village farce was infectiously tipsy, Gillies MacKinnon’s interpretation is twee, tweedy and rather timid about putting its own stamp on a now-quaint story. |
| The Herald (Scotland)Alison Rowat[Director] Gillies MacKinnon's remake of the Ealing classic commits sacrilege by the simple virtue of being dull. |
| CineVueMatthew AndersonA dry and surprisingly dull film, it is a comedy which doesn't induce a single laugh and a drama that doesn't engage emotionally or pull on the heartstrings at all. |
