The Hollywood Reporter
An easygoing, unashamedly old-fashioned picture executed with a light touch that conceals a serious and sharply topical subtext. - 70
Screen Daily
While the narrative’s dramas feel paper-thin, even as they touch upon timely themes of equality, multiculturalism and the treatment of refugees, the feature’s optimism always shines. - 63
Movie Nation
It’s no great surprise that the great Australian director Bruce Beresford wrings every ounce of sweet out of Ladies in Black. - 60
Variety
"Ladies” is let down by a screenplay lacking the sharp wit and emotional depth to bring its characters and themes fully to life.
