Nimble dialogue, a brace of insightful moments and a slightly chocolate-box view of our city, lend 'Last Chance Harvey' a warmth and wisdom which outshine the more timeworn elements of the screenplay.
Tom Huddlestone, Time Out

All this gloomy masochism is made palatable because of the performers. And yet we must ask: Is this any way to show off two of our finest actors?
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

These two actors are so strong that in the end we are left with a sweet and a tender movie.
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies

Sure, it's predictable at times, and maybe even a little sappy, but overall it's a sweet movie about genuine human emotion.

Watching Hoffman and Thompson tentatively discover each other is joyously tender.
