United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "Last Chance Harvey is a tremendously appealing love story surrounded by a movie not worthy of it. (...) It is a pleasure to look upon the faces of Hoffman and Thompson, so pleasant, so real. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)." | POS |
United States | Variety | "Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson are so disarmingly charming that even the most treacly moments work an emotional magic" | POS |
United States | The Wall Street Journal | "A good chance to see two superb actors having their way with wafer-thin material." | NEU |
United States | ReelViews | "Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson bring credibility to Last Chance Harvey merely by their presence. The result is a holiday parfait" | POS |
United States | New York Post | "Slight but utterly charming. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" | POS |
United States | New York Daily News | "This mundane romantic comedy is notable for one reason only: its leading couple" | NEU |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "Small and surprisingly hopeful film, with beautifully attenuated performances by Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson." | POS |
United States | Miami Herald | "Provides the rare pleasure of a blossoming romance between two people older than Kate Hudson or Ryan Reynolds" | POS |
