Critic Reviews

Empire Damon Wise

With jokes that routinely miss the mark and cringeworthy slapstick, this black comedy farce shouldn't work. Somehow, though, it does. Read full review

Boxoffice Magazine Wade Major

A kind of Ealing Comedy throwback that is arguably her best film since Beckham. Read full review

Andy Webster

May be a busy trifle, but it has its good-natured charms and agreeable gross-outs. Read full review

John DeFore

A feel-good flick about a serial killer who just wants what's best for her daughter. Broad and not too spicy, the London-set Indian rom-com is a crowd-pleaser. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

While her latest, It's a Wonderful Afterlife, is affectionate and energetic, its comic premise seems too silly, and at times, too tedious, to hope for much cross-cultural appeal, despite a fine, committed cast. Read full review

Nick Pinkerton

Every gag is smothered by the prevailing tone of labored zaniness and generic, plucky "mischief music" alerting discerning viewers to abandon all hope of laughter. Read full review

Justin Chang

It's a Wonderful Afterlife is a movie to make Frank Capra roll over in his grave from indigestion. Read full review
