Critics Consensus

Despite its outdated ideas about teen sexuality, Our Ladies presents a well-acted and affectingly nuanced portrait of female friendship.

Derry Girls this isn't, it's less realistic (not a parent in sight) and less funny. However, although there's obviously a lot less time to develop all the characters in their 1 hour 45 minutes, they were sufficiently compelling for me to happily go on their raucous, madcap journey with them and even re-live just a small bit of my adolescence. It seems they entered some kind of time-warp in Edinburgh with the amount they fitted into their afternoon but suspend belief for a wee while and enjoy the convincing acting of an afternoon hilariously spent.

This is a pretty solid film about a smallish group of teenage students from a Catholic school who are lucky enough to go on a school trip to Edinburgh to perform as a choir at an event but the film isn't about the singing, its about the friendship and camaraderie between the girls. It's fair to say the film features a lot of frank sexual references and strong language, so be aware of that, if it's something that would either embarrass or offend you. It's a depiction of teenage freedom, not long before the characters would have to get out into the world and hold their own as it were, so I guess its a bit of a coming of age tale. I didn't think a great amount of it until the end, almost literally. The final scene I thought was quite poignant - we get quick text based updates about what happened to each of the characters after the events of the film, which makes it somewhat thoughtful. It's a film that reflects the time its set in pretty well (the 1990s), with the female characters being quite ladette-ish, probably as a response to the strict Catholic life their expected to live, being students of a Catholic based school. I found one scene in which one of the nuns, a teacher/member of staff, orders the students to step away from a window, funny due to the reaction they make when they see what was being looked at. This is a good film to watch if you'd like a little nostalgia of the 1990s I suppose, yes. It has some amusing moments and by the very end it has a poignancy to it too, so yes, I'd recommend it.

Our Ladies offers something relatable to us all around the complexities of teenage friendships. Gritty, humorous and real, with affection too, just like Derry Girls. These ladies have big futures ahead.

Observer (UK)

For all its good-natured boisterousness, there is the sense that director Michael Caton-Jones is straining to get the tone just-so.

There is a lot to like here - but there's no escaping how dated some of the material is.

Independent (UK)

What's ultimately so joyous about Our Ladies is all the small ways they rebel against their circumstances - while the world wants them to focus on the destination of their lives, they've chosen to revel in the journey.

Film Focus Online

Our Ladies is an awful lot of fun. It’s tremendously well-acted, rebellious and hilarious, with one of the most relatable and genuine group of characters put to screen for a long while

An entertaining but misguided attempt at capturing teenage sexual fever...an uneven and disappointing viewing experience.

Movie Nation

Caton-Jones keeps it on its feet, which helps the cliches skip by as quickly as the truly cringe-worthy moments, most of which end with a guys-are-such-losers punchline.
