- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The creators of this based-on-truth fable carefully cultivate the material so it comes off fresher than it sounds."
-
"Owen and Mirren are fun to watch, but the film, despite the many shots of gardens in full bloom, lacks visual distinction."
-
"Plants the seeds of comedy that grow into a mild feel-good flick, but it won't reap much viewer satisfaction."
-
"Entertaining and heartwarming -- especially when Mirren sweeps into scenes with acid observations that fail to disguise a heart of gold."
-
"The latest in a line of quirky, feel-good British comedies, Greenfingers fits right into the breezily entertaining mold but doesn't expand it."
-
"It's pleasant, mildly uplifting entertainment, one of the few recent movies to use plants as its muse."
-
"Unambitious and transparent, but that doesn't mean it won't warm the hearts of audiences on both sides of the Atlantic."
