Editing Mrs Brown (section)

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
In a contemporary review [[Roger Ebert]] said, "It is not about sexual love, or even romantic love, really, but about that kind of love based on challenge and fascination."<ref name=Ebert>[https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/mrs-brown-1997 Ebert,, Roger. "Review:'Mrs. Brown'",  July 25, 1997]</ref> He called Judi Dench "wonderful"; Connolly "has the reserve and self-confidence that most stand-up comics lack almost by definition".<ref name=Ebert/>

On [[review aggregator]] website [[Rotten Tomatoes]] the film has an approval rating of 92% based on 50 reviews, with an average rating of 7.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Thanks to some top notch acting, the chemistry between its stars, and a witty, thoughtful script, ''Mrs. Brown'' delivers a nuanced and entertaining, if not entirely factual, account of a seldom explored historical relationship."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/mrs_brown/|title=''Mrs Brown'' (1997)|publisher=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|access-date=7 October 2017}}</ref> [[Metacritic]], another review aggregator, assigned the film a weighted average score of 71 out of 100, based on 22 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/her-majesty-mrs-brown?ftag=MCD-06-10aaa1c |title=''Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown'' reviews|publisher=[[Metacritic]]|access-date=7 October 2017}}</ref>
