There is much skill at work here, so parts of it are lovely. It’s just the way it comes together – or doesn’t.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 19, 2022

One of the strengths of this modest film, which is partially based on Neal’s memoir “An Unquiet Life”, is the casting.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 13, 2022

A glassy reimagining of their marriage that isn't terribly accurate.

| Apr 19, 2022

More balance was necessary here, but this is a moving story.

| Apr 19, 2022

Often touching but also vexing...

| Apr 14, 2022

A contrived and cliché-filled biopic which uses all the tricks in the book usually associated with these kinds of productions.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2021

To its credit, the film finds a note of something stark for the tragedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 24, 2021

Hugh Bonneville (Dahl) and Keeley Hawes (Neal) are extremely watchable. They're heavily hampered, however, by a whimsical script that often feels like propaganda for the problematic Dahl brand...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 23, 2021

Like all aspects of this sorry effort, the subject matter deserved better.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 20, 2021

True, grief is universal - but To Olivia never embraces the fact that stories draw their power from specificity. It's what makes them feel real.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 20, 2021

John Hay's film just about gets by on committed performances and dusty rural ambience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 19, 2021

If it's never transcendent, it at least offers charming child performances, and Hawes is a particularly good fit as Neal.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 19, 2021

To Olivia is cushioned by its own carefully managed good taste.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 18, 2021

Fails on its own terms, because everything it's saying about the Dahls' recovery and artistic regrowth rests on a blatant manipulation of the biographical truth.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 18, 2021
