- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThis isn’t an A-picture, either behind the camera or in front of it. It plays like a competent TV film, lacking the polish or “names” of a “Downton Abbey,” but good enough to work.
- 60The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawIt’s a really watchable film, more substantial than most sports movies and many postwar dramas.
- 60The Irish TimesDonald ClarkeThe Irish TimesDonald ClarkeThe story’s underlying message has ended up more relevant than the film-makers can ever have anticipated.
- 60Time OutPhil de SemlyenTime OutPhil de SemlyenIt’s an old cliché about biopics that if the story wasn’t true, you probably wouldn’t believe it. The Keeper takes it a step further: you know it’s true and you still don’t believe it.
- 40The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergIt’s contrary to the movie’s spirit to judge Bert, but the evasive treatment of his wartime experiences plays like a dodge: His past exists as a kind of amorphous trauma, reduced to shorthand in shamelessly placed flashbacks.
