	Author	Review
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"Ken Loach has taken a despicable episode of modern Irish history (...) and made a surprisingly lovely, heartfelt film from it with 'Jimmy’s Hall'."	POS
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Frustratingly inert."	NEG
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Though it features a dramatic scenario (...) Loach manages to enliven potentially stuffy material with lively storytelling and likable personalities (...) [It] marks his most enjoyable effort in years."	POS
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"'Jimmy's Hall' is is one of the sunniest, most optimistic films in the Ken Loach canon. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Loach has done better before; hopefully in the future he will again. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
