The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"A fascinating and involving chamber piece for two superb actresses. Theirs is a duet of nuance and inflection, raised eyebrows and trembly lips."
The Palm Beach Post: B
"All of this could easily have been a Masterpiece Theatre episode, except for Dames Maggie Smith and Judi Dench, who invest their signature performance savvy in Ladies in Lavender as if it were Shakespeare."
Dayton Daily News: B
"Almost without words, Dench is remarkably expressive as a woman confronted by a void she thought had been stored away long ago."
