	Author	Review
	Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"An ode to suburbia: a celebration of the ordinary (...) It’s a strong directorial debut from Bird"	POS
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] relies too heavily on tired stereotypes (...) [It] deploys some talented performers on both sides of the camera but its promising parts never quite cohere into a properly satisfying whole	NEU
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"The film’s whisper-thin premise and sitcom-like characters are the cinema equivalent of Sweethearts candy: rather too sugared, and immediately forgotten."	NEG
United Kingdom	Mark Kermode The Guardian	"A small movie with a big heart (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"If the film never completely coheres into a satisfying whole, Days Of The Bagnold Summer has a lot going for it (...) It also suggests Simon Bird is a filmmaker worth watching (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
