	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"A mostly innocuous but unmemorable exercise (...) [It] is as harmless as it is silly (...) The reliably charismatic work of its players (...) keeps this somewhat soggy 'macaron' diverting"	NEU
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Utterly formulaic (...) A sluggish two hours that delivers only in a triumphant final act that's as improbable as it is inevitable."	NEG
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"'Sink Or Swim' works because of a screenplay with some genuinely funny moments and a jaunty, confident approach from Lellouche"	POS
Australia	Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald	"The film boldly goes where no French film has gone before and with enough humour and heart (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
Australia	Vicky Roach News	"[It] has fewer nips and tucks than your average feel-good comedy. And that’s a large part of its attraction"	POS
Australia	Adam Fresco Flicks	"An amiable comedy drama (...) With plenty of heart, the top-tier middle-aged cast lend the witty, if predictable, story much needed sparkle (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
