The relationships, though fun, come together exactly how you would expect. But what it lacks in originality it makes up for in heart.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

Military Wives has no grand ambitions, but it’s exactly that quality that makes it work so well, perhaps especially for those people who go into it with their guards up.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 13, 2022

Military Wives successfully deploys its (generally) Forces-brand of humour well, alongside knowing where and when to pack the emotional punch. And like the choirs it was inspired by, it's pretty uplifting stuff.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 25, 2021

Military Wives is not an award-worthy movie, but it has a compelling story and actors who know how to hold the audience's attention. A final sing-along at the end credits only cements the power that music and community can provide for those in need.

A lovely watch lead by two excellent performances by Kristin Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan.

You won't be surprised one jot by the entirely predictable plotting or outcome ... But the mix of realism, song, humour and warmth still make this a touching experience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2020

Even when it's straining towards notes to make us feel good, Military Wives is recognising the uneasiness that at the centre of life during war time cutting through the sentiment with clarity and incisiveness.

I tired of the goofy, repetitive tiffs between Kristen Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan (who feel like they're overplaying their characters at times).

The cast has great chemistry. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 27, 2020

A feel-good movie with a basic plot and simple story, but sometimes that's all you need.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 25, 2020

What makes this textbook set-up sing is the pitch-perfect casting of Four Weddings and a Funeral star Kristin Scott Thomas and having her charge head on at Catastrophe lead Sharon Horgan as Lisa, her fiery co-choir leader

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 15, 2020

I could use a lot more movies with as big of hearts as this one, especially ones that remind us all of the power of a strong group of diverse women

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Aug 7, 2020

Despite the inevitable patriotic tone, the film works. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 4, 2020

What could have been a mawkish flight of sentimentalism is kept firmly on the ground mostly thanks to the script co-written by Rachel Tunnard, who similarly avoided easy sentimentality in her criminally overlooked 2016 comedy Adult Life Skills .

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 24, 2020

[It] ultimately has an uplifting message of believing in yourself ... It might not be an original theme for a story, and the film isn't made in an innovative way, but only the most miserable cynics won't feel good after seeing this movie.

| Jul 19, 2020

It benefits hugely from the casting of the ever-delightful Kristin Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan - their chalk and cheese is a perfect combination that holds interest in material that might have got a bit humdrum and schmalzy.

| Jul 16, 2020

It'll have you in your feelings, but this is still great entertainment that doesn't try to push too hard...

| Original Score: B | Jun 23, 2020

Painfully formulaic of its "crowd pleasing" ilk.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 22, 2020

If nothing else, it's a good, free cry, but it's more than that, partially because "Military Wives" balances pathos with humor.

| Jun 9, 2020

There is nothing remotely hip about "Military Wives," yet it feels silly to come down hard on a film this good-natured.
