Maurice may be a duffer on the course but he ultimately makes a very winning personality on the screen.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 17, 2025

The Phantom of the Open works best as a showcase for its talented cast, proving the versatility of Mark Rylance and Sally Hawkins in particular. This is a constantly fun watch with a real sense of heart and meaning.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 19, 2023

This wholesome hope is contagious: Roberts makes it impossible to resist thinking of the world as a land of Gumps and Flitcrofts, of indomitable dreamers. What a lovely thought that is.

A delightful and thoroughly enjoyable golf Cinderella story. The ever-so-versatile Mark Rylance's portrayal of Maurice is instantly likable, it was effortless to be fully invested in his journey.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 26, 2023

It’s a vein from British social lore of a blue-collar man sticking it to the hierarchy with a brazen charm of happy-go-lucky attitudes towards life.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 22, 2023

Agglutinates a certain social nuance with a human touch, extravagant as it is delicate, with stupendous performances. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 6, 2023

True story of a golfer who crashes the British Open and teaches us all about the way of failure.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 11, 2022

Director Craig Roberts treats Flitcroft with utmost respect, even if those around him do not. The brilliant Mark Rylance anchors this film that’s populated with eccentric characters, and the ensemble is integral to winning us over.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 22, 2022

The Phantom of the Open won’t break the mold of a crowd pleaser but it is delightfully par for the course.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 27, 2022

A hilarious, sweet comedy with a lot of heart and indulgence for one of life's true eccentrics played with brio by the very versatile Mark Rylance, among engaging support performances and a taste for the brash aesthetics of 70s 온라인카지노추천

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 26, 2022

Despite the lucid storytelling, the chronicle was ordinarily transferred to the screen by Roberts, whose big ladle of easy sweets and tough dreams went too sentimental in places.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 23, 2022

An endearing true story about a lovable oddball.

| Original Score: 4 stars | Jul 23, 2022

How can you not love Mark Rylance, who always manages to find roles tailor-made for his strengths. He's such a treat here and you can't help but to fall under his spell, regardless of how silly or sappy things may get.

| Original Score: 87/100 | Jul 22, 2022

Significant alterations to the story create faux-drama which makes you realise it’s a very, very loose adaptation of the Maurice Flitcroft tale. I wish it was more authentic.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 21, 2022

A narrative like this always going to draw people in, as gumption-fuelled against-the-odds tales tend to, but it wouldn't keep them cheering along without Rylance's both believable and endearing stint in the argyle vest.

| Jul 17, 2022

It’s all so shallow and flash-in-the-pan as to suggest there wasn’t that much to Flitcroft’s achievements or, in Rylance’s one-note portrayal, the man himself, in the first place.

| Original Score: 1.5 | Jul 15, 2022

This too could be hilarious, if we weren’t being invited to accept the character at face value as the salt of the earth. As things stand, he’s fascinating but not entirely human -- at least, not as human as Paddington Bear.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 14, 2022

The Phantom of the Open returns a solid scorecard.

| Jul 14, 2022

Rylance connects to the contradictions in Maurice's childlike mind, to his dreamy optimism and his neglect of responsibility — elements that the film hints at but can't quite reconcile, because it's too enamoured with its warm-blanket world view.

| Jul 14, 2022

A feel-good flick for the whole family, one that features a terrific soundtrack of ‘70s and ‘80s hits, some brilliantly executed set-pieces and one-liners and a fabulous supporting cast that also includes Rhys Ifans, Ian Porter and Mark Lewis Jones.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 13, 2022
