Tommy's Honour | Ratings & Reviews

"A golf movie. Not words that should really belong together, but let’s not get stuck on that bit of rough. What we have here is a historical romance, between a father and a son, a man and a woman and a species and a sport."

Flicks, Paul CasserlyFlicks

"Thankfully, Connery has kept the story’s human side grounded in the real world, and those are the only stakes that matter."

VarietyVariety

"Tommy's Honour scores a hole in one with its unpacking of the class wars at play."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Pleasant and watchable, perhaps, rather than brilliant."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"It all feels a little bit like a sporting episode of Upstairs, Downstairs and comes off as overly twee to really compel."

StuffStuff

"The performances are desultory, the musical score bullying and the drama - aside from the game-changing placement of inconvenient shrubbery - as predictable as Tom senior's steadily sprouting beard."

New York PostNew York Post

"It's surprisingly affecting, but there's a tendency to telegraph ... pivotal emotional moments that in a way lessens their effect. It's a tribute to the film's overall craft and, especially, its cast, that it's as much a winner as it is."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"They [Jack Lowden and Peter Mullan] bring pathos and at least some zest to a film that might have got lost in the rough without them."

IndependentIndependent

"An engrossing and accessible celebration of the game's modern origins, enhanced by striking locations and a standout cast, led by Scottish actors Peter Mullan and Jack Lowden."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Telling an unfamiliar tale in a highly predictable manner, this is a laudable, but lightweight tribute to golf's founding fathers."
