Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Jamie, Pritti, Hugo, Loco... These figures are designed to appeal to girls, boys and everyone in between. As such, they more than deserve to be the talk of the town. Rated: 4/5 Oct 8, 2021 Full Review Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Jesse Hassenger AV Club Making the characters and setting cohere is really the job of the musical numbers, and they aren't quite up to the task. Rated: C Sep 25, 2021 Full Review Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Jake Coyle Associated Press The young actor seems to share his character's confidence in his own destiny; he's best in the well-choreographed songs. The film depends perhaps too much on them, but, then again, you don't turn the music down at a good party. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 23, 2021 Full Review Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Michael Cuby them. With catchy songs, inventive choreography, and terrific performances from Richard E. Grant, Sharon Horgan, and first-time screen performer Max Harwood, Jamie is the kind of splashy musical you’ll find hard to resist. Sep 26, 2022 Full Review Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Romey Norton Ready Steady Cut If you’re on the lookout for a new film to watch, this is one I highly recommend. With glitz, glamour, and drama, what more do you need? Rated: 4/5 Jun 28, 2022 Full Review Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Jo Berry Movies4Kids A fun film adaptation of the stage musical, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie captures the positivity, humour and sparkle that made the theatre show such a likable hit.

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/21 Full Review Libby C "Everybody's Talking About Jamie" captures the heart and spirit of its stage predecessor with infectious energy and poignant storytelling. Max Harwood shines in the titular role, delivering a captivating performance. The film celebrates self-expression, acceptance, and the power of being true to oneself.
