Poms

"The 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."

"An 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."

"The women in Poms deserve better and so do we."

"File under forgettable fun."

"There 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."

"Inoffensive and well-meaning, the performances elevate it but don't entirely save it."

"It lands as voyeuristic condescension and flattens the presumably full lives of women elders into hollow inspiration fodder."

"It'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."
