"While the story of The Grenade is too low-key at times, it is anchored by a series of strong performances - especially Brian Cox bringing his A-game as the main character's eccentric grandfather." - Olive Carroll, Houston Chronicle
"There isn't a lot of plot going on in The Grenade, but what little there is manages to be compelling throughout even if doesn't particularly go anywhere big. Carey Mulligan may be wasted in a pretty small and thankless role, but thankfully Brian Cox and Roman Griffin-Davis are able to carry the film on their shoulders." - Chris Mears, Slashfilm
"The Grenade is a quaint character study. Perhaps it's too unambitious for its own good though. The performances are solid, but not flashy. And the story itself is simple, but too simple to really allow us to fully know its characters." - Dave Manning, The Ridgefield Press
