	Media	Author	Review
		Beth Webb Empire	"Fleeting charm and pretty packaging will leave you partially satisfied but later craving a bolder film (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Ian Freer Time Out	"[It] is marred by contrivance and predictability but gets by on a feel for life’s missed opportunities, a good heart and a strong central performance by Hancock (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"Its plot is as predictable as the bad weather which hits the mountain just as the octogenarian is trying to climb it. Nonetheless, the film has charm and pathos (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"Suilven certainly looks lovely at magic hour (...) and Hancock matches it for indomitability. But the film is way too much like a never-give-up Saga commercial for its own good (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Hancock lifts this drama (...) but it’s familiar terrain (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Kevin Maher The Times	"[A] clunky uphill struggle of a film (...) Sheila Hancock drives the final third of this wilderness drama into sublime places (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Alissa Simon Variety	"While there’s drama aplenty in the notion that octogenarian Edie Moore (...) yearns to climb Mount Suilven (...) the filmmakers too often undermine the dignity of their appealing protagonist with crude slapstick
