Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThe blueprint for a genuinely inspired, warm-hearted dramedy is indeed there, it's just that the filmmakers can't figure out how to properly utilise what they have.
The New York Times
pressAn uncomfortable blend of sickness and silliness, this dancing-past-the-graveyard comedy suggests that the many travails of aging can be endured if you only gather enough friends and surrender enough dignity.
New Zealand Herald
pressThere are many corny moments ... But on the whole, one can't deny Poms has a life-affirming quality and an emotionally charged finish that'll have you leaving the theatre on a high.
Newshub
pressInoffensive and well-meaning, the performances elevate it but don't entirely save it.
Hollywood Reporter
pressIt lands as voyeuristic condescension and flattens the presumably full lives of women elders into hollow inspiration fodder.
Associated Press
pressIt's fine to make a film that's just supposed to make an audience smile (hello, "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again") but this film doesn't even get close to that level of joy.
