Washington PostDesson Thomson
The movie finds charming humor in a world full of sectarian strife between Protestant and Catholic. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
This late-in-the-year gem glows with Levinson's characteristically warm embrace of a wide range of people and his superlative sense of time and place. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
A laugh-filled comedy that might be described as "The Full Monty" meets the Three Stooges.

Wicked and cheeky. Read full review

The New York TimesDana Stevens
The director serves up a nice helping of blarney, but he seems to have left his schmaltz in Baltimore. Read full review

USA TodayStaff [Not Credited]
This wee trinket of a comedy, one of the more offbeat stabs at capturing the absurdity of the religious and political strife in Ireland, is for those who like their Guinness with a shot of wry.

Boston GlobeJay Carr
A slight but diverting series of set pieces.

Chicago TribuneMichael Wilmington
The movie isn't quite spry, warm or hip enough to carry out its very ambitious serio-comic agenda. Even for an ace like Levinson, Belfast is a long way from Baltimore.

Rolling StonePeter Travers
The humor is slight, but the actors make the blarney go down easy. Read full review

Mr. ShowbizKristy Martin
While An Everlasting Piece is rife with engaging family moments and an undeniable charm, it never allows its characters to find the very thing they're seeking: peace.

It's a film of myriad minor pleasures but scant compelling qualities. Read full review

A bit of whimsy. Read full review

Village VoiceMichael Atkinson
It's a sprightly, low-fiber comedy while the comedy lasts. Read full review

This mild but amusing comedy wasn't written by Levinson, and the accents may be different, but the feel is similar. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
Writer Barry McEvoy and director Barry Levinson might want to brush up on the use of metaphor. Read full review
