Reaction: The box office success for An Irish Rendezvous here is surely a testament to the growing star power of leading lady Sadie Sink as the young star has now headlined five profitable films in a row in a variety of genres.

"The Irish backdrop is beautiful to look at and the actors are confident enough in their roles to bring these characters to life, but for a teen/young audience, the pacing made the film seem busier than it needed to be. Still, it does manage to deliver a heartfelt tale of self-discovery and redemption, even with a lot of tangled threads." - Dexter Quinn - Cinematic Observer

"An Irish Rendezvous by director India Donaldson and writer Jacob Jones comes with a good soundtrack, great visuals and a very solid performance from Sadie Sink. Despite that, sadly I must say that I didn't enjoy the movie very much. The film promises a compelling drama but delivers a slow, often frustrating experience. Despite its visual appeal, the weak pacing and lackluster character development make it difficult to recommend. The nice visuals and good music aren’t enough for me to compensate for the film’s deeper flaws." - Clark Chase, Chicago Sun-Times

"An Irish Rendezvous aims to blend teen romance with coming-of-age drama, but it falters under the weight of an overstuffed plot and uneven tone. While the Irish backdrop is beautifully captured, the film struggles to balance its lighter moments with its more melodramatic twists. Sadie Sink and Ferdia Walsh-Peelo give earnest performances, but even they cannot fully ground a story that often veers into cliche and contrived conflict with some clumsy character arcs." - Glenn Howard, Total Film

Rated PG-13 for suggestive material and some language
