What to Know

Critics Consensus

Mr. Malcolm's List references countless Regency romps without particularly distinguishing itself from the pack, but it gently entertains as a diversely-cast ode to Jane Austen's works.

Mr. Malcolm's List | Rotten Tomatoes (1)

Linda Marric

The Jewish Chronicle

Of course it’s all very unoriginal but that’s kind of the point. In fact there is something courageous about a film which doesn’t purport to be anything beyond the well-established genre it seeks to emulate.

Rated: 4/5

Observer (UK)

It’s pleasant, frothy, unapologetically by-numbers stuff.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

Lightweight, ephemeral and almost meaningless, this Regency-era romance is consistently saved by the stellar presence of Zawe Ashton...

Rated: 3/5

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

It's cliched for sure, but it's the sort of film that many will return to for comfort and will be discovered over and over. A truly delightful diversion.
