Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Jan 19, 2022
I was charmed...you wrap it around yourself and just settle down. If you like cheese, you'll love this. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Jan 18, 2022
2/5
Based on a true story, Save the Cinema is the kind of plucky underdog feelgood slop that the British film industry churns out on a regular basis, largely to the indifference of audiences. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Jan 14, 2022
2/5
Sweeter than a bucket of honey-coated Welsh cakes, and just as indigestible, this real-life "feelgood" drama about the fight to save a Carmarthenshire cinema is so sentimental it's inauthentic. Go to Full Review
Cory Woodroof 615 Film Aug 30, 2022

Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Jan 20, 2022
3.5/5

Stefan Pape Common Sense Media Jan 18, 2022
3/5
