Critic reviews of A Bump Along the Way
“A well put-together, perfectly enjoyable and very human
film.”
Graeme Tuckett – Stuff.co.nz
“[Petticrew's] flinty chemistry with reliable pro Gallagher keeps
things on track even when proceedings veer into more predictable hugging and
learning.”
Guy Lodge – Variety
“What starts out as a low-budget, Derry-set broad comedy takes a poignant detour through the subtle and unsubtle bullying of women of all ages to emerge as a rewarding mother-daughter romance.”
Fionnuala Halligan – Screen International
