Tolkien explores the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow outcasts at school. This takes him into the outbreak of World War I, which threatens to tear the fellowship apart. All of these experiences would inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-Earth novels.

It uses its imagination to build a thoughtful and charming portrait.

Matthew Norman, London Evening Standard

Overall Tolkien is a touching, entertaining, nicely handled film, which gives real insights into the creation of one of the most popular books ever written.

Paul Whitington, Irish Independent
