	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It takes vampires as seriously as the versions of 'Nosferatu' by Murnau and Herzog do, and that is very seriously indeed (...) The young actors are powerful in draining roles (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Complex characters, ominous situations fraught with mortality and the recklessness of youthful ardor create a tense and subtly shaded narrative."	POS
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"[A] distinctive mix of horrific and heartwarming (...) Otherworldly child actors Hedebrant and Leandersson perfectly embody their roles"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It's a winner, full of mirth and malice, plus a young romance you'll never see on the Disney Channel. (...) The two young leads are dynamite. (...) See it now before Hollywood remakes the thing and ruins it (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)."	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Alfredson has an elevated sense of visual beauty, but he knows how to deliver the splattery goods (...) He also takes the morbid unhappiness of his young characters seriously"	POS
United States	David Ansen Newsweek	"Mesmerizing (...) this is a vampire movie like no other. (...) Grave, melancholy, romantic, with bursts of off-beat comedy, 'Let the Right One In' unfolds with quiet, masterly assurance."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Some movies, while never quite attaining masterpiece status, nonetheless have a monumental WTF-factor. This is one such (...) [It] has invention and stamina, a rich arterial flow of fear (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Sukhdev Sandhu Telegraph	"It’s everything 'Twilight' wanted to be but wasn’t: beautiful to gaze at, achingly romantic, emotionally involving, unexpectedly terrifying (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
