Loach's film is beautifully shot and Scearce's story is wonderfully told. It's not maudlin or preachy.

It's just another version of a story we've seen many times before.

Coming-of-age dramedy isn't that original, but still manages to be a sweet summer tale.

Heartfelt lessons about bullying and self-esteem are shoehorned into a contrived and predictable narrative structure in this mildly nostalgic coming-of-age drama.

There is a lot to love in this gently funny and wise little movie.

Accurate period details weren't a high priority in Jim Loach's coming-of-age story Measure of a Man.

Offers decisive proof that fresh and different is overrated when you've got a strong cast, a beautifully written script and fittingly measured direction.

It's a sweet and knowing and lovely and funny story, but occasionally the spell of warm nostalgia is broken by painful moments of family heartbreak and cruel bullying.

Brings no distinctive personality or plot angles to a very familiar set of misfit-hero woes and eventual, underwhelming triumphs.

Sincere but underwhelming.
