      80% Tomatometer 5 Reviews 11% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings Arthur's Whisky is a charming, feel-good comedy about living in the moment. When Joan's (Patricia Hodge) husband dies, she discovers he had invented an anti-aging elixir that literally takes the years off. Sharing it with her two friends Linda (Diane Keaton) and Susan (Lulu), the three rejuvenated women waste no time in painting the town red, but they soon realize it's a very different world to the one they remember.

      Leslie Felperin Guardian The core threesome have a pleasant chemistry and are pros enough to make it work for an audience unlikely to be especially critical. Rated: 3/5 Jan 3, 2024 Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media Watching Arthur's Whisky, there's a sense of warmth, friendship, and fun that feels authentic and makes you wonder whether these actors bonded in the same way on set. Jan 17, 2024 Full Review Jayne Nelson Radio Times The script hurries along at such a frantic pace that it fails to land important emotional moments, only managing to nail a few laughs along the way. Rated: 2/5 Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) Keaton is game as ever, while Hodge provides some sentimental backbone between the whoops. Credit to writer Alexis Zegerman for a commendably daft premise. Rated: 3/5 Jan 11, 2024 Full Review Brian Viner Daily Mail (UK) Arthur's Whisky is not an especially fine addition to the species, but it bowls along with appealing energy and just enough wit to keep the audience smiling, albeit a little indulgently at times.

      Les N They seemed to have a good time making this film....a lot better than I did watching it. Awful! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review r96 s Super dumb, yet it somehow kinda worked for me. 'Arthur’s Whisky' is a very low budget picture, I mean just look at that unintentionally hilarious attempt at portraying a visit to Las Vegas (!!). The plot is very silly and, obviously, nonsensical but in the end I kinda dug it, to be honest. The film does plateau at around the hour mark, though the heartfelt conclusion brought it back to win me over. I guessed the general vibe (slow paced story of oldies being oldies) of this movie based on the poster and I was mostly correct, though the opening minutes of this made it look like a proper adventure/fantasy was on the way - it evidently wasn't, so quite the jarring beginning! Diane Keaton, Patricia Hodge and Lulu lead onscreen events and the trio do well enough, as a three they worked better than they did individually. What actually probably helped this for me was the three that played their youngers. Genevieve Gaunt, Esme Lonsdale and Hannah Howland are good. Adil Ray's whole subplot with Lulu/Howland is very cringe, mind you. Looking around, this has not been received all that positively - though a deeper look around does suggest a more even split of opinion, it does work for some. Just look at that expired tomato website - 80%/14% for critics/audience! Fascinating, really. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Nicola W Terrible acting, annoying voices. Terrible terrible film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review Jacqueline D Looks good, a feel good movie. But you have the wrong picture of Genevieve Gaunt, it's Jodie Comer. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Annette V This movie had so much potential, it had a good idea and the casting of Diane Keaton means it could have been a classic "older woman" heart warming movie but it falls flat due to its low budget and sometimes atrocious acting from other cast members. Although Patricia Hodge is a well known British actress this seemed way out of her comfort zone and she just seemed really out of place, lulu on the other hand actually looked way more comfortable and her character although not getting as much screen time was way more watchable. An average heart warming movie with few laughs. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
