45 Years | Ratings & Reviews

"The mechanics of a happy marriage are subtly put to the scalpel in writer/director Andrew Haigh’s measured drama, an ever-so-British response to the likes of Amour. Based on David Constantine’s short story In Another Country, it finds Kate (Charlotte Rampling) and Geoff (Tom Courtenay) living out a contented retirement in the countryside and preparing to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary."

"Haigh's casting choices for the two lead roles pay rich dividends."

VarietyVariety

"It's a film of small moments and tiny gestures that leaves a very, very big impression."

Time OutTime Out

"Haigh’s very fine, classically modulated film keeps these questions alive until literally its last shot, and lets them jangle their way through you for days afterwards."

The TelegraphThe Telegraph

"Mr. Courtenay, a naturally demonstrative actor, registers a convincing blend of longing, confusion and shame. Ms. Rampling, a stiller, deeper-running pool, conveys emotions so strange and intense that they don't quite have names."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"A moving and absorbing drama featuring two performers offering a lifetime's wisdom and technique in their performances."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"A quietly explosive film, a potent drama with a nuanced feel for subtlety and emotional complications."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Do not expect blazing emotional fireworks, just finely calibrated performances and deep reserves of inner torment."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"A searing drama charged with raw, yet poignant fury."

Herald SunHerald Sun

"Full of restraint, from both its director and leads, this is a quiet gem with the power to move."
