Evelyn might well benefit from a worldwide roll-out in the wake of unlikely box office blockbuster My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It has the same softness of touch, dearth of dramatic conflict and ethnic cutesiness which is obviously proving reassuring and heartwarming to millions in a world which is becoming increasingly unhinged. So while Evelyn is undistinguished and almost inane in its gentle desire to please, it is well-crafted and uplifting, qualities which cannot be under-estimated these days. While set in 1953, Evelyn could indeed have been made in 1953 by John Ford, maybe, or Frank Capra. It’s so from-another-time that you expect Barry Fitzgerald or Maureen O’Hara to walk on screen any moment – more The Quiet Man than the harsh reality we have come to expect from Irish-set period movies like The Butcher Boy or Peter Mullan’s The Magdalene Sisters. http://www.screendaily.com/story.asp?storyid=9998
