Hope Springs Ratings & Reviews
CNN.com
Tom Charity
Streep fans, I think you're going to enjoy this one. I know I did.
The New Yorker
David Denby
The film, a rehab job on a beached marriage, displays the most tender respect, the most exquisite tact, and yet it would be completely unwatchable -- an outright embarrassment -- with any other actors than Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
It's tough to come up with new superlatives for Meryl Streep, but the 63-year-old actress delivers her most frankly sexual performance yet in Hope Springs.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
All that's missing are commercials for estrogen cream and erectile-dysfunction meds.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
It's all a little depressing.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Hope Springs" is a minor miracle of a movie.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Streep and Jones are pure magic. The fear, the longing, the tenderness of these characters are beautifully illuminated in performances of exquisite understanding.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
It's something like Ingmar Bergman's "Scenes From a Marriage," as translated into the universe of the Lifetime Network.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
A surprise that sneaks up and moves you, "Hope Springs" has the courage of its awkwardness, and this is said admiringly in the spirit of the film, which is irony-free and unfashionably earnest.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
What could have been strained farce or, worse, geezer porn, morphs instead into a film of hilarious and heartfelt pleasures. It helps that director David Frankel has two of the best actors on the planet to raise the game.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
If the film doesn't really explore the pain and bitterness of this marriage, it's still leagues ahead of most such attempts.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
In a media landscape that only has eyes for the sex lives of nubile young things, Hope Springs' sincere, considered, and unembarrassed exploration of mature sexuality marks a welcome exception.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
These modest virtues are buried under such hard-sell devices as a manipulative muzak score and sitcom-style close-ups that disrupt the narrative momentum.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
First, the good news: here is a Hollywood movie for adults that deals fairly honestly with a relatable, real-life situation...
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
I don't know where Hope Springs came from, but I wish someone would tell me so I could go there and find some more movies like it.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A genuinely sweet, perfectly acted, remarkably brave little movie that should make audiences swoon for something they thought was gone - a smart dramedy for grown-ups.
Observer
Rex Reed
For mature audiences who have forgotten how to smile, it takes up where The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel left off.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Hope Springs handles marriage and advanced-age sexuality with a refreshing, down-to-earth candor. In today's Hollywood, that counts as radical.
Gawker
Tim Grierson
That a Hollywood summer comedy starring two 60-year-olds is the year's most daring sex film is astounding. And also kind of sad.
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
Contrasting the cookie-cutter rom-com ad campaign, Hope Springs comes as a pleasant surprise: Vanessa Taylor's screenplay is largely a subdued and thoughtful piece, a no-frills look at scenes from this marriage.
