	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"There is a great sincerity and warmth in this movie and something very candid and direct in the way Lacoste and Multrier relate to each other on screen (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Vincent Lacoste is irresistible in Mikhaël Hers's tender, airy study"	POS
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"A quietly moving celebration of human resilience (...) Timely themes and charming performances (...) The overall package is a little too pedestrian to make much impact beyond the Gallic world"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"Emotional directness and a terrifically likeable central performance by Vincent Lacoste deserve to make Amanda a modest but significant breakthrough"	POS
Ireland	Tara Brady Irish Times	"A drama that carefully calibrates its family dynamics (...) For all that emotional content, 'Amanda' is a pleasingly unsentimental film (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Clarisse Loughrey The Independent	"'Amanda' may explore loss with sensitivity and grace, but only after it’s shielded its eyes from the rest of the world (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
	Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"A striking comment on society (...) The most remarkable feature of 'Amanda' is that all this is done while the tone stays fairly light, and the movie avoids the posturing and aggressive intent"	POS
Ireland	Paddy Kehoe RTÉ	"'Amanda' has that pressing, anticipatory feel of a Michael Haneke movie (...) A compelling study of goodness (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Paul Whitington Irish Independent	"Though it drags at times, it does celebrate the simple virtues of love, constancy and decency (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
