	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"Ritchie's homecoming is a fairly familiar affair, but also refreshingly funny and deftly plotted, with more witty lines and less boorish machismo than his early work"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Himself gentrified by a decade in Hollywood’s big leagues, Ritchie doesn’t much seem to know his own scuzzy world anymore."	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Another dose of geezer-gangstery made all the more watchable by star turns from Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant (...) Ritchie has made an entertaining return to his mockney roots (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"A disposable crime caper on autopilot. (...) Ritchie reclaims the genre that brought him to fame but does little more than shuffle battered parts into an intermittently entertaining configuration"	NEU
United States	Mike McCahill IndieWire	"Two decades and several million dollars into Ritchie’s career, his latest feels like a heavily cynical, a crass attempt to appease his 'Aladdin' detractors."	NEG
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"What it lacks in freshness and depth, The Gentlemen certainly makes up for in cartoon-y bluster and fun details. Welcome home, Mr. Ritchie (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Clarisse Loughrey The Independent	"'The Gentlemen' seems to be the angriest of all Ritchie’s films (...) The only thing The Gentlemen finds worth celebrating is the bravado of white masculinity (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"The point is cleverness and looking cool, though, mostly the movie is about Ritchie’s own conspicuous pleasure directing famous actors having a lark, trading insults, making mischief. There’s not much else"	NEU
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Ritchie’s 10-year blockbuster sabbatical has taken in some giddy highs and clodhopping lows. But this return to the genre that made his name (...) seems determined to prove how little he’s learnt along the way."	NEU
United States	Nicholas Barber The Wrap	"[An] entertaining rehash of Ritchie’s greatest hits (...) 'The Gentlemen' is a suit stitched together from well-worn material"	POS
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"The movie, for all its retrograde politics and wham-bam machismo, can also be slick, silly fun"	NEU
