- Excerpt: Jimmy’s Hall empieza muy bien, pero se va desinflando a medida que avanza, sobre todo porque es un poco confusa, y porque todo el encanto que tiene la primera parte, se va diluyendo en la segunda mitad para centrarse más en conflictos políticos que no están bien desarrollados del todo.

- Excerpt: Jimmy’s Hall is moving, especially towards the end, and it does make you angry – just as every Ken Loach film should – but, sadly, it just doesn’t seem moving or angry enough.
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: Despite the serious subject matter, Jimmy’s Hall is one of the lightest and breeziest features in the long and distinguished career of director Loach.

- Excerpt: Isn’t one of Loach’s more notable films, but even a lesser effort from him is worth seeing.
- Sarah Ward @ FilmInk
- Andrew Wyatt @ St. Louis Magazine
- Excerpt: The primary allure of Jimmy’s Hall lies in its vibrant evocation of a particular time and place where traditionalism and authoritarianism were in stark, grassroots conflict with modernity in all its forms.
