Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

The Parent Trap meets Rashomon meets Groundhog Day in an overly ambitious, and frankly muddled, conceptual premise for this charmless family film.

Rated: 2/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Elevated by Jay Martel’s high-concept screenplay, which refuses to talk down to its audience, The Present is a peppy family adventure that delivers a formally adventurous structure and a recurring dog poo gag. Something for everyone then.

Rated: 3/5

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The film’s forgettable fluff, but perfectly genial, and it’s hard to imagine many hardcore objections to curling up with it.

Rated: 3/5

Ryan Devir

Film Threat

The film keeps a good pace through its runtime, has solid cinematography, and is entertaining, but it could have used more exposition to raise the stakes.

Rated: 6/10

Anne Brodie

What She Said

acknowledges there are magic moments in our lives that we must recognise and look for, and help others find theirs. It’s a power for good here, gentle and child-friendly, with intelligence and a keen sense of fun

Rated: 2/4

Shadows on the Wall

As a dopey bit of fluff, it's very watchable.
