Variety
pressGleeson and McAdams have a radiant, believable chemistry that keeps the film aloft, while the other actors glide through effortlessly ...

pressDitching the trademark forced theatrics, About Time finds Richard Curtis in more reflective mood. Don't expect a life-changer, but it's a pleasant shift of pace.
The Guardian
pressCurtis has managed to achieve the impossible. Specifically: he has gone back to 1993 and remade Groundhog Day with a ginger Hugh Grant.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThere are just enough laugh-out-loud moments here to excuse the lurches into shameless, tear-jerking sentimentality.
Empire Magazine
pressSmart and sweet, funny and genuinely moving. Should probably come with a 'there's something in my eye' warning.
Thoroughly enjoyed but would leave the man at home. Not as entertaining for the menfolk as Love Actually. Enjoyed this more than anticipated by the trailer.
True to form Brit inspired humour, Bill Nighy delivers again with his signature style and minimalist brilliance! McAdams and Gleeson perform well together in a quirky yet believable love story that is a mixture of engineered genius on a time travellers part and charming wit that can inspire even the weakest of romantics in us all. A great...
Enjoyed this movie with life lessons and laughs. Good one to see on a forst date or with someone you can hold hands with.
This movie is good if you feel like watching a movie that you can pretty much guess the ending by only watching the first 20mins and feel like having a good time enjoying the ride to the end. It was quite sweet though and had some good points to it. A wine or two before hand would make it even better!!
