- 100EmpireOlly RichardsEmpireOlly RichardsPaddington 2 is every bit as enchanting as the first, perhaps even more so, but it feels arbitrary to pick a winner. The film is a pure delight, as sweet and sharp as, well, marmalade, really.
- 100Time Out LondonTime Out LondonIt’s a family adventure that’s the right sort of heartwarming, delivering real human emotion through the medium of a small bear.

- 80The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawThe film is pitched with insouciant ease and a lightness of touch at both children and adults without any self-conscious shifts in irony or tone: it’s humour with the citrus tang of top-quality thick-cut marmalade.
