	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ryan Gilbey The Guardian	"A treacly, sentimental treatment drowned in kitsch (...) The odd cameo distracts temporarily from the tedium (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"All that's gold doesn't glitter (...) Helen Mirren elevates the material with her usual aplomb"	NEU
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Under Harvey Weinstein's sponsorship, this remarkable story has become a paint-by-numbers variation on the producer's far better 'Philomena' (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"The film seems to think the mere presence of Mirren as a wisecracking widow will be enough for us to forgive it a multitude of sins (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"A legal fight over the struggle for ownership of an artwork is hardly the stuff of high drama. And the screenplay can’t find a way to make that conflict (...) compelling"	NEG
