	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A tired, dated and unfunny period piece that changes the original plot a bit but offers no new perspective (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"The linguistic wit and thrust of Noel Coward's play have been replaced by posh-speak pastiche and ham-fisted narrative gambits (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Coward’s brand of urbane casual elitism is rather past its sell-by date. But the problems run deeper in this energetic but scattershot version"	NEG
United Kingdom	Pamela Hutchinson Empire	"This fleshed-out fantasy is neither as funny, as fierce nor as fearsome as the source material (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Flat, dated resurrection of Noël Coward farce proves some things are better left dead"	NEG
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"Unfunny movie destroys a brilliant play (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
