"Star-driven, high-minded claptrap that, fatally, can't even rig a rooting interest in its central love story." | NEG |

"When the suffering of real children is used to enhance the image of movie stars who fall in love against the backdrop of their suffering, a certain decency is lacking. "Beyond Borders" wants it both ways -- glamor up front, and human misery in the background to lend it poignancy." | NEG |

"Makes an earnest stab at illustrating the hardships and sacrifices humanitarian workers contend with - but in the end, all the suffering merely forms an amorphous backdrop for a Harlequin romance" | NEU |

The Wall Street Journal | "A sudsless soap opera with human misery as a backdrop for romantic banality." | NEG |

"An unreal film about a real situation, unavoidably cartoonish" | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"The film's heart is undoubtedly in the right place, but so what? Fine ideals don't mean much when they're couched in an inert, pointless storyline." | NEG |

The Washington Post | "The premise of the movie deserves better" | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"A film that telegraphs its plot and then drags ploddingly, its humane spirit obscured by an inane script and Jolie's implausible character." | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"Even assuming the best possible motives by its makers, Beyond Borders runs the risk of making human suffering exotic" | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"A superior soap opera, evocative at times of Warren Beatty's 'Reds'" | NEU |
