OK, so enough time is spent on the fairways to put some viewers off, but Tommy’s Honour scores a hole in one with its unpacking of the class wars at play. Read full review

The GuardianAndrew PulverApr 13, 2017
In the end, it’s Lowden’s fresh-faced enthusiasm and Mullan’s gravitas – operating at about a quarter of the level we know he’s capable of – keeping things afloat. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'SullivanApr 13, 2017
Tommy’s Honour is never boring, but at best it invites a smattering of polite applause, not an upturned barrel of Gatorade. Read full review

Boston GlobePeter KeoughApr 12, 2017
A climactic contest takes place in arctic weather that would rival any New England Patriots playoff game. Had the filmmakers drawn more on this rowdy, hardy spirit, not to mention the hirsute gravitas of Peter Mullan, it might have done justice to its legendary subjects. Read full review

A vivid recreation of the early history of professional golf is the principle pleasure of Tommy’s Honour, a stately, slow and distressingly dull biography of 19th century Scottish golf hero Tom Morris. Read full review

EmpireDavid ParkinsonJul 10, 2017
Telling an unfamiliar tale in a highly predictable manner, this is a laudable, but lightweight tribute to golf's founding fathers. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisApr 13, 2017
The performances are desultory, the musical score bullying and the drama — aside from the game-changing placement of inconvenient shrubbery — as predictable as Tom senior’s steadily sprouting beard. Read full review
