What are critics saying?

The Hollywood Reporter by Neil Young

An easygoing, unashamedly old-fashioned picture executed with a light touch that conceals a serious and sharply topical subtext.

Variety by Richard Kuipers

"Ladies” is let down by a screenplay lacking the sharp wit and emotional depth to bring its characters and themes fully to life.

Movie Nation by Roger Moore

It’s no great surprise that the great Australian director Bruce Beresford wrings every ounce of sweet out of Ladies in Black.

Screen Daily by Sarah Ward

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.
