I Capture the Castle Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
An overloaded script by Heidi Thomas defeats a fine cast that includes Bill Nighy...
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
It has just enough charm to be watchable.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
With eloquent dialogue but scant smoldering passions, the mushy machinations nicely nudge director Tim Fywell's gentle little film.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Dollops on the usual romantic, family and class conflicts with a very heavy ladle, which pretty much smothers the whimsical mood Fywell strains so hard to attain.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
A refreshingly mature look at first love and life's often-rough transitions.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
A fresh reminder of the tart taste of first love and the disarming sweetness of becoming an adult.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Not that the whole thing isn't perfectly charming on certain levels. Both Garai and Byrne are quite nice as the two impassioned sisters.
Denver Post
Vic Vogler
Never shies from indulging us and our desire for a gentle and generous world that doesn't slip into easy answers.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
It's a pleasantly quirky love story with a wry sense of humor and standout performances from the youngish cast.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Feels like a respectable BBC television drama rather than a movie.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
The psychological darkness that underpins this film doesn't seem inappropriate to its wit and charm.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
A delightful coming-of-age movie that teeters on contrivance but never topples.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
Flat and suspenseless.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It would be fun to be a member of the Mortmain family -- maybe the younger brother, who shows every sign of growing up to be Harry Potter.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
A clear-headed, straightforward version of Dodie Smith's 1948 novel.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Smith's book is a charmer, but the keys to this Castle have been misplaced.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A classy English film that lovingly re-creates a teenage girl's coming of age in the 1930s.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
A quiet, charming picture (if not a dazzling one) that's true in spirit to its source material.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
... it's just a soap opera, and not a very good one.
