Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Just as teenagers enjoy escapist movies, so do the elderly. They simply prefer a gentler pace. What is touching about Mrs. Palfrey is that she is allowed to be elderly, and not turned into a hip-hop granny.

fresh:
Plowright, who has made something of a specialty of breathing life into stereotypically written older women for the past 20 years, makes the most of a rare opportunity to play someone still open to the surprises the world can bring.

fresh:
A small portrait of friendship and intergenerational connection, painted in delicate strokes and warm tones.

Like the woman herself, Mrs. Palfry gets to you.

It's an altogether satisfying drama -- the sort of movie some people complain they don't make anymore.
