Kat resists, knowing that it will end the bohemian lifestyle that she’s always envisionedIn their mid-30s, Eva (Oona Chaplin) and Kat (Natalia Tena) have a fun and carefree simple life in their London canal boat until Eva, inspired by her exceptional mother Germaine (Geraldine Chaplin), presents Kat with an ultimatum: she wants a child. Kat resists, knowing that it will end the bohemian lifestyle that she’s always envisioned with Eva. When Kat’s best friend, Roger (David Verdaguer), drops in from Barcelona, the three of them toy around with the idea of creating a baby together. Kat sees no other way out but to say yes.

Anna Storm

There is nothing grand about Anchor and Hope. It is only that which is extraordinarily difficult to make: a simply well-executed film. Read full review

The Guardian Leslie Felperin

Nov 15, 2018

It’s a thoughtful, honest and touching work, especially for women who love women, and also love canals. Read full review

Adam Lowes

Nov 28, 2018

Even if it does occasionally threaten to outstay its welcome with a 111-minute running time, the deeply engaging performances and that freeing and uninhibited Spanish flavour which Marques-Marcet brings to his English-language debut, means it’s the kind of world you really don’t mind lingering in.

Too often, viewers just have to take a movie love story’s word for it that its characters actually belong together. Not so in Carlos Marques-Marcet’s loose, observant Anchor and Hope. Read full review

Sarah Ward

Nov 15, 2018

As predictable as their tale may be, Chaplin, Tena and Verdaguer serve their characters well, with the former and latter particularly impressing with the material. Read full review

Empire Amy West

Nov 15, 2018

With its predictable story unlikely to leave a lasting impression, it’s left to Chaplin and Tena’s natural chemistry and performances to make Carlos Marques-Marcet’s second feature-length film worth your while. Which they do. Just. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Nov 14, 2018

The talk turns toward the tedious and the jokes, the situations and the romantic longing never draw us in. The viewer isn’t so much a part of the story as a bystander, curious and occasionally titillated, but rarely moved. Read full review
