Critics' reviews

"It’s Oscar-mongering of the most blunt and reprehensible sort. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"Child star Thomas Horn is so good, Stephen Daldry's weepfest nearly overcomes its Unbearable Cuteness. (...) Horn breaks through the movie's manipulative scrim simply through the sheer force of his emotions."

Mary F. Pols: Time
"It exploits familiar images (...) tries to make us feel good, even virtuous, simply about feeling. And, yes, you may cry, but when tears are milked as they are here, the truer response should be rage."

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"While flawed and sometimes overwrought, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close's tale of the effect of 9/11 on a sensitive boy is worth seeing, particularly for its lead performance (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"A tale that compacts the grief of an entire world, country, city, and thousands of loved ones left behind into the pain of one vulnerable, fictional boy"

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
