	Author	Review
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"'Little Boy' is a lesson, shiny and obvious, but it's hardly spiritual in any meaningful sense"	NEG
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"A sometimes charming, sometimes saccharine World War II drama about faith"	NEU
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"'Little Boy' answers a question most tear-jerkers wouldn't have the nerve to ask: Can the bombing of Hiroshima be manipulated narratively, if briefly, into a position of warming our hearts? The answer is no"	NEG
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"A movie that has the haranguing inspirational tone of a marathon Sunday-school lesson."	NEG
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"This must have looked better on paper than it does onscreen."	NEG
