Variety - 02/16/1983

"...LOCAL HERO is loaded with wry, offbeat humor and is the sort of satisfying, personal picture that is becoming an increasingly rare commodity..."

Empire - 06/01/2008

5 stars out of 5 -- "An enchanting fairy tale, all the more so for refusing to go for a cut-and-dried happy ending."

Uncut - 06/01/2008

4 stars out of 5 -- "Forsyth's values -- humanity over corporate greed -- have never been more relevant."
