What to Know

Critics Consensus

St. Vincent offers the considerable pleasure of seeing Bill Murray back in funny form, but drifts into dangerously sentimental territory along the way.

Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association Mar 21, 2017
Melfi, an astute director, sets a very eccentric and consistently endearing tone that is reminiscent of the quirky spirit of Silver Linings Playbook. Go to Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire Jun 18, 2016
A lovely little movie with a lot of laughs and a good heart - and a warning signal for a direction Murray's career could take, if he's not careful. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Jan 8, 2015
4/5
It's a cliche, but cliches go on existing only because they go on being refreshed, and Bill Murray and friends bring this one back to life with deadpan flair and a vigilant eye for any disfiguring taint of sentimentality. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Mar 31, 2026
3.5/4
...a compulsively watchable piece of work that benefits from its earnest, heartfelt atmosphere and raft of above-average performances... Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Jul 31, 2025
4/5
“St. Vincent” is extremely sentimental and conveniently sweet to the point of cinematic syrup, but so what. Thanks to Bill Murray, it all becomes worth it. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Aug 25, 2022

It does offer a handful of intriguing characters whose lives draw us in for better or for worse. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert P @Superbad Sep 7, 2026 St. Vincent = A *4* star Movie... See more Jake R @jakemoviethemovieguy Sep 4, 2026 cool movie , how do you even dislike something with bill murray in it?!?! loved this See more Jay D @JaY0010 Jul 19, 2026 This was unexpectedly an amazing movie! Bill Murray played the part incredibly well, as did the boy. So well in fact I cried, and I don't cry easily, but they really nailed their roles in this movie. So many good laughs too. Melissa McCarthy was hilarious as always in her funny way. Highly recommended watch! See more Dave S @PEIDave Apr 12, 2026 A solid movie that didn’t get the love it deserved when it came out. Bill Murray delivers a performance worthy of an award. This one missed me … saw a trailer on Facebook and decided that give it a try. Not the most original script but the performances lift it felt m standard fare. Definite recommend.
