Reviews

  • "There's a relaxed warmth to the, largely, lowkey events, that encourages us to cosy up to the family."
    - Eye for Film
  • "A touch overlong and soapy and awkwardly structured. But it's still an engrossingly watchable drama."
    - Observer (UK)
  • "This is a wonderfully sympathetic, deeply felt and tenderly funny family drama with a novelistic attention to details and episodes..."
    - Guardian
