The Press Reviews
Fleeting charm and pretty packaging will leave you partially satisfied but later craving a bolder film that puts its battle-worn title character to better use. Full Review
Sheila Hancock shines at the centre of an inspiring, unashamedly feel-good story. Full Review
This well-meaning film basically retreads the old ideas about the old person who in death's encroaching shadow has one last glorious life-affirming adventure... Full Review
The mere concept of Hancock, as the newly liberated widow of the title, clambering around Scottish mountainsides might be enough to sustain a trailer, but it doesn't go the distance here. Full Review
An uplifting character study that's definitely worth a look. Full Review
A committed performance from the redoubtable stage and screen veteran Sheila Hancock drives the final third of this wilderness drama into sublime places. Full Review
The story may not linger, but the imagery will. Full Review
Treads a rather obvious, if diverting enough, path. Full Review
