Critic Reviews
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
An ingratiating but overly contrived Canadian coming-of-age tale.
-
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
The Year My Mom Was Dolly Parton relies on a good but not great script, well-drawn characters and performances and a pleasant, fuzzy sense of a simpler time.
-
Liz Braun, Jam! Movies
A wonderfully low-key but engaging movie about identity.
-
Jason Anderson, eye WEEKLY
Unfortunately, Johns' movie is less satisfying when it comes to matters not directly pertaining to Dolly Parton.
-
Norman Wilner, NOW Toronto
There are a few good moments in The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom, but you have to get past a lot of distractions to appreciate them.
