Keeping Mum Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Johnson struggles to find the proper tone: the serial murders aren't horrible enough to be funny, and the characters don't respond as if they're horrible at all. As a result the black humor thins into gray fog.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The Ealing of yore is gone, and Guiness, ex-ladykiller, is now and forever, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Here's mud in your eye.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
A dark comedy that isn't dark or particularly funny, Keeping Mum ends up being an exercise in heavy-handed whimsy.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Bracket out the ethical concerns of making merry as the body count mysteriously rises and Keeping Mum is an endearing hoot.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's probably one of the funniest films to come out of England in years.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Smith is an absolute delight, exuding grandmotherly warmth even as she's picking her next target.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Those fond of films set in quaint, remote British towns (this one's named Little Wallup), or really any film in which the divine Smith purses her lips, will find much to enjoy here.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
It's always a treat to watch Maggie Smith up to her old scene-stealing tricks.
Chicago Sun-Times
Teresa Budasi
Smith, along with the rest of the cast, rises above and turns the thinly scripted dark comedy into an amusing and enjoyable British romp.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The screenplay by the novelist Richard Russo and Niall Johnson, who directed, is half hearted and too casual to be rousing. You're desperate for a surprise.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Keeping Mum has an agreeably twisted plot that's compromised throughout by leaden pacing and a fatal attack of the cutes.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
The actors all strike just the right tone to carry off the black comedy.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Where Ealing comedies used to have full command of irony, Keeping Mum is weirdly clueless.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Saves its best for last -- and God bless Maggie Smith for, well, being Maggie Smith -- but that requires sitting through a frustrating, uneven hour of sluggish preamble.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
No heavy lifting here (except for a few stiff bodies), but Keeping Mum has a macabre merriment about it.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Not even such wily scene-thieves as Smith and Atkinson can salvage much of the silliness.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Dame Maggie is waggish as a mad housekeeper who finds final solutions to one family's domestic problems, and it's fun to watch swanlike Kristin Scott Thomas pretend to be a frumpy vicar's wife.
Observer
Rex Reed
Director Niall Johnson and his co-writer, Richard Russo, have shrewd eyes for quaint British mannerisms and keen ears for the eddies of their curious speech patterns.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Dame Maggie is simply delightful (has she ever been less than wonderful?), and she has sparkling backing by Kristin Scott Thomas as Gloria and Rowan Atkinson as the good vicar.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Frothy, good-hearted fun that reminds you of the kind of movies we're always complaining they don't make anymore.
