United Kingdom | The Times | "Winterbottom tries to make a modern and meaningful parable. He fails quite miserably" | NEG |
United Kingdom | The Guardian | "It is impossible not to admire the fluency and intelligence of Winterbottom's film-making, and his prolific output. Yet Genova is a disappointment (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" | NEG |
United Kingdom | Time Out | "It's at once a deeply sad film and a deeply truthful and optimistic one (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" | POS |
United Kingdom | The Independent | "I suspect the director was aiming for a sun-blessed version of 'Don't Look Now', but his ghost story conjures neither suspense nor intrigue." | NEG |
United Kingdom | London Evening Standard | "This is a much more intimately reflective drama than Winterbottom usually supplies" | POS |
