	Author	Review
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"This historical account offers an engrossing and accessible celebration of the game’s [golf] modern origins, enhanced by striking locations and a standout cast"	POS
United States	Ray Greene The Wrap	"It’s the rare sports biography that keeps its eye on the ball of character and milieu."	POS
United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"Pleasant and watchable, perhaps, rather than brilliant (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"It is a sturdy, handsomely made Scottish costume drama (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Connery has kept the story’s human side grounded in the real world, and those are the only stakes that matter."	POS
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Connery extends the film’s appeal with enjoyable sequences depicting how the game was run back then"	POS
Canada	Brad Wheeler The Globe and Mail	"If golf is a good walk spoiled, the handsomely shot but subdued period piece 'Tommy’s Honour' is two hours drearily wasted (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Godfrey Cheshire rogerebert.com	"It is a movie for golf enthusiasts, pure and simple. That’s not to say the film doesn’t have other virtues (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"'Tommy’s Honour' wants to convince us that watching two men bicker and bang balls into tiny holes for the better part of two hours is the height of entertainment."	NEG
