	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The only credible scenes in a movie that is pathologically afraid of being a bummer belong to Mr. Rockwell. Otherwise 'Everybody’s Fine' is false to the core."	NEG
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Everybody's Fine (...) is raised by the nuanced performance of Robert De Niro (...) But it's a syrupy, downbeat film. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"[It] offers heartfelt observations (...) but this remake of Giuseppe Tornatore’s 1990 film 'Stanno Tutti Bene' ends up feeling too pat to be truly illuminating."	NEU
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"There isn't much that's fine in 'Everybody's Fine,' an embarrassing misfire for Kirk Jones (...) The movie glides along a surface of complete inauthenticity"	NEG
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Purely on the strength of its craft, it connects. But aside from an atypically mannered Robert De Niro, there’s very little new to see along the way"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"There are many things [De Niro] does better than anyone else alive, but playing nice isn't one of them (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This is a sweet-natured film on the saccharine borderline, but with interesting moments (...) That said, it could and should have been better (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
