    Outstanding little movie. Nicely understated with credible storyline and excellent low-key performances.

    Impressive direction by Michael Keaton, very thoughtful and deep. The leisurely pacing is a plus for this movie. The performances are impressive, especially Kelly MacDonald. Nicely photographed, good score. A fine and well written film.

    An edgy entertainment, the movie also remarkably has the feel-good warmth of an old-time Irish film.

    Despite its shortcomings as a plausible, compelling story, The Merry Gentleman, Michael Keaton's directorial debut, exhibits genuine promise behind the camera.

    Keaton, who took over directing duties from ill-stricken screenwriter Ron Lazzeretti before shooting started, inherited a stock-still story of two lonely souls and never develops their rapport.
