Critics Consensus

Mr. Malcolm's List references countless Regency romps without particularly distinguishing itself from the pack, but it gently entertains as a diversely-cast ode to Jane Austen's works.

Linda Marric

The Jewish Chronicle

Of course it’s all very unoriginal but that’s kind of the point. In fact there is something courageous about a film which doesn’t purport to be anything beyond the well-established genre it seeks to emulate.

Rated: 4/5

Observer (UK)

It’s pleasant, frothy, unapologetically by-numbers stuff.

Rated: 3/5

Times (UK)

Lightweight, ephemeral and almost meaningless, this Regency-era romance is consistently saved by the stellar presence of Zawe Ashton...

Rated: 3/5

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Mr. Malcolm’s List has unfortunately just missed the effect it’s going for. That ineffable charm of Austen that’s often imitated and rarely achieved is essential for this type of film to truly soar.

Reel Film Reviews

Mr. Malcolm’s List’s staid vibe is generally alleviated by an increasingly engaging plot and the efforts of a strong, charismatic supporting cast...

Rated: 2.5/4

The movie is a refreshing new look at how colourblind castings may need to be much more thoughtful, even though it presents a world of more romance and less racial history.

Great love story, super fresh and not at all predictable comedy. Enjoyed the great story telling and full circle character development.
