Critic Reviews

Glenn Whipp

You can't really hate The Lightkeepers. You can only wish that writer-director Daniel Adams had invested the movie with equal measures of originality and quaintness … and maybe told Dreyfuss to tone down the whole sea captain thing. Read full review

Peter Debruge

Such predictable pap is generally better suited for romance novels or Lifetime movies. Here, it's elevated somewhat by a decent cast. Read full review

Sheri Linden

A lifeless period romance of the cutesy-cantankerous persuasion. Read full review

Ernest Hardy

Danner, the film's sole strength, does what she can with the material, but it's not enough to offset writer-director Daniel Adams' cliché-ridden script and leaden direction, or the excruciating hamfest that is Richard Dreyfuss' lead performance. Read full review
