- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A magnificent story about the enduring bond between two eccentric, astounding souls who somehow managed to find each other and hold on for dear life."
-
"Not just a fitting document of a life brilliantly lived but a vibrant, almost palpitating piece of cinema."
-
"A triumph on the casting side but less so dramatically, Richard Eyre's Iris fails to do full justice to its subject."
-
"The film is not a biopic or a portrait of a famous marriage so much as it is an imaginative essay on what made a union between two radically different people work as well as it did."
