Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 3d
It’s quite an achievement to take a genre as well-worn as the romcom and to make it feel fresh and vital. But this Manchester-set tale... manages just that. Go to Full Review Nikki Gemmell The Australian 5d
3.5/5
It entertains, sweetly and gently, but has serious bite in its commentary about gender politics within our ­universities. Go to Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Daily Mail (UK) 6d
4/5
Attractive leads, a funny and eccentric ensemble cast, uncynical sweetness and a fab soundtrack – Finding Emily has all you’d want from a romantic comedy. Go to Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) 3d
3.5/5
The rom-com essence has to work really hard to keep its ahead above contemporary mores...but Fearn and the naturally likable Angourie Rice (the Aussie bunging on a Yank accent, for some reason) make it work. Go to Full Review James Mottram Radio Times 4d
4/5
With Fearn boasting oodles of charisma in the lead, and a story that deals intelligently with the madness of love, you will be charmed. Go to Full Review Tom Shone Sunday Times (UK) 5d
3/5
See Finding Emily for its smarts, but you may feel like renewing your unhealthy attachment to Casablanca. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
