Buoyed by Sheila Hancock's sterling performance, Edie is a delightful little film for the dreamer in all of us, at whatever age.

It's a delightful reminder there should be more stories featuring older actresses released and celebrated.

| Oct 29, 2021

Expect peak inspiration when you view Edie.

| Oct 29, 2021

The stunning scenery is matched only by the weary but resilient Edie, a character and a performance by Hancock that you won't soon forget.

| Oct 29, 2021

The film is an exploration of an older woman's determination to reconnect with her truest self.

| Oct 29, 2021

The mountain serves as both a metaphor and a concrete goal, and Edie's determination to conquer it will strike a chord in anyone who's ever thought they might have missed their chance to do something big or meaningful.

| Oct 29, 2021

A clumsy dramedy that doesn't discern the emotional gravity behind Edie's boiling impulse to take back her own life, let alone the precarious escapade she decides to embark on.

| Original Score: 4.5/10 | Dec 24, 2019

"[The] mawkish score milks the concept for every last drop of emotion, badgering you with the swelling airs of struggle and triumph - and marring what might have been a moving character study of a resilient survivor."

This is an actor's showcase for Hancock.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 19, 2019

Never reaches the heights the lead character is aiming for.

| Original Score: C | Sep 17, 2019

Edie doesn't just tell an inspiring story. It shows us one in action.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 13, 2019

"Edie" has a firm grasp on kindness and delivers the occasional corny turn of character, but there are a few raw nerves worth paying attention to.

| Original Score: B | Sep 12, 2019

Inspiring story about an adventuresome elder who discovers the fire inside herself.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 6, 2019

Its inspiring message of elderly empowerment would have been more persuasive if Edie's adventure was more grounded in reality.

| Sep 6, 2019

Hancock's performance takes us to the heights.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 6, 2019

The growing friendship between Edie and Jonny has an understated but very genuine warmth.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 6, 2019

Something tells me a documentary on Hancock simply navigating the rigors of "Edie," as well as acting it to the fullest, might have been more readily inspiring.

| Sep 5, 2019

The story in "Edie" may get sidetracked from time to time, but Hancock never does, with a focus every bit the equal of her character's, if not more so.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2019

Hancock is wasted here, as are the meaty dramatic threads that Elizabeth O'Halloran's formulaic screenplay never bothers to pull.

| Sep 5, 2019

The only thing that does not disappoint is the ravishing and varied landscape, even if it is shot a bit like a tourist board advertisement.
