Critics consensus

“Michael Keaton's directorial debut, The Merry Gentleman , is a slow character study aided greatly by the performances of Keaton and Kelly MacDonald.”

A

Angie Errigo

RTEmpire MagazineDec 4, 2009

Despite memorable scenes, the narrative's aim is never clear: is this a crime drama, dark comedy or a May-December romance?

K

Kevin Maher

RTThe Times (UK)Dec 4, 2009

The film never quite convinces as anything other than a puff-piece for Keaton, but it is bolstered by another deeply empathetic turn from Macdonald.

X

Xan Brooks

RTGuardianDec 4, 2009

[Michael Keaton is] the pained and taciturn star of a pained and taciturn drama.

M

Michael Leader

RTDen of GeekMay 7, 2024

While Keaton may have retreated from Burtonland to the world of indie film production, he has come back bearing The Merry Gentleman, a pleasant, if ultimately a little uninspiring, gem.
