	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"An affectionate tribute to Rosa: silly and watchable enough, but short on laughs (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"The film is shot through with an optimism that is infectious (...) It offers little in the way of surprises, but it’s hard not to be won over by its small-scale delights (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
	Vittoria Scarpa Cineuropa	"An ambitious and well-made film which arguably places too much focus on the ludicrous nature of the story and fails to pay sufficient tribute to the extraordinary feat that inspired it."	NEU
United States	John Serba Decider	"Considering this true story’s potential 'Rose Island' is a dud as a drama and a dud as a comedy — and a granddaddy of a wasted opportunity."	NEG
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"[It] doesn’t have many new ideas or much ambition, but its optimism is a rarity these days, and its message to keep dreaming in spite of it all is more welcome now than ever.(…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
