LA Weekly
Holly Willis
A rare treat -- a mix of politics that avoids reductive simplicity and a story that's entirely engaging.

89
Mr. Showbiz
Kevin Maynard
Director Roger Michell ("Persuasion," "Notting Hill") has made his finest film to date.

83
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
Michell captures the awkwardness of real-world behavior with gentle, unforced humor.

80
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
In its heart burns the indomitable flame of the human spirit.

80
Film.com
Peter Brunette
Authentic contemporary heroine.

80
The New York Times
Stephen Holden
In its harshly realistic scenes... it stirs your blood.

75
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Violence ignites her passion, dividing her Belfast family.

75
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
She (Walters) may be working with old news, but she shores up this shaky film with a heart the size of an ocean liner.

75
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
As solid as the earth, rich as a good meal and sometimes funny as hell.

75
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A tense, intelligent and sober film.

75
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Well worth seeing for Walters, whose comic and dramatic gifts are showcased to very entertaining effect.

75
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Mother's peace crusade ennobles Irish Town.

75
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Michell treats the Irish troubles of the 1970s with clear-eyed compassion, and Walters's performance ranks with her best.

75
Baltimore Sun
Ann Hornaday
So understatedly good.

70
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
The wavering style and tone fragment the movie, undermining both characters' development, though each retains her power as a symbol.

70
Variety
David Rooney
Walters brings real heart to the role.

70
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
An admirable, thoughtful venture, but it may leave you with the feeling that you've seen it all before.
70
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Holding nothing back, Walters is, once again, remarkable.

70
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
Isn't convincing on every front, but as a political conversation piece, it's potentially effective.

70
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
In some ways it's not a very good movie... tries to mix comedy and tragedy...but the movie has an exciting subject -- a true story.

67
Austin Chronicle
Russell Smith
With its understated moral power, generous spirit, and bracing flashes of dark humor, Titanic Town offers a fresh, subtly illuminating take on an ancient sorrow.

60
Dallas Observer
Andy Klein
It's hard to know just how much to trust Titanic Town.

50
San Francisco Examiner
Walter Addiego
Capably made but simplistic story.
